Import ordering

Sort and group imports so they never cause conflicts or noise.

How to build it

Enable an import sorter for the language, such as isort or the ruff isort rules.
Set the import groups (standard library, third-party, first-party) in its config.
Run the sorter in the same format step so import changes land in one pass.

Signals in a repository

isort settings in pyproject.toml or setup.cfg, such as profile = "black".
An import-sort rule such as I001 enabled in the linter config.
Import blocks grouped the same way across files in the codebase.

In practice

9 repositories run a tool for this check in the scanned set.
