How can I configure @trivago/prettier-plugin-sort-imports to always place .css/.scss imports at the bottom?

I'm using @trivago/prettier-plugin-sort-imports to automatically sort imports in my React project, but I'm facing an issue with .css and .scss imports.
Specifically, I want imports ending in .css
or .scss
(that don’t start with ./
) to always be moved to the bottom of the list. For example, consider these imports:
JAVASCRIPTimport { PublicClientApplication } from '@azure/msal-browser'; import 'bootstrap/dist/css/bootstrap.min.css'; // this should be at the bottom import { StrictMode } from 'react'; import { createRoot } from 'react-dom/client'; import App from './App'; import { msalConfig } from './auth-config.ts'; import './styles/index.css';
And here is my current .prettierrc configuration:
JSON{ "printWidth": 80, "tabWidth": 2, "useTabs": false, "semi": true, "singleQuote": true, "trailingComma": "es5", "bracketSpacing": true, "arrowParens": "always", "importOrder": ["^@?\\w", "^@/", "^[./](?!.*\.(css|scss)$)", ".*\.(css|scss)$"], "importOrderSeparation": true, "importOrderSortSpecifiers": true, "plugins": ["@trivago/prettier-plugin-sort-imports"] }
The issue is that import 'bootstrap/dist/css/bootstrap.min.css';
is matched by the first regex (^@?\\w
) and appears at the top, rather than at the bottom as intended by the .*\.(css|scss)$
rule. This is also why I excluded .css/.scss files from the third rule.
What configuration change can I make to ensure that non-local .css and .scss imports are always placed at the end?

To fix the ordering issue, you need to ensure that your rules for non-CSS imports explicitly exclude CSS/SCSS files. In your current configuration the first rule
"^@?\\w"
matches imports like 'bootstrap/dist/css/bootstrap.min.css'
because it doesn’t exclude CSS extensions. The solution is to add a negative lookahead to the problematic rules so that they won’t match when the import path ends in .css
or .scss
.
For example, update your .prettierrc
with negative lookaheads on the first two rules:
JSON{ "printWidth": 80, "tabWidth": 2, "useTabs": false, "semi": true, "singleQuote": true, "trailingComma": "es5", "bracketSpacing": true, "arrowParens": "always", "importOrder": [ "^(?!.*\\.(css|scss)$)@?\\w", "^(?!.*\\.(css|scss)$)@/", "^[./](?!.*\\.(css|scss)$)", ".*\\.(css|scss)$" ], "importOrderSeparation": true, "importOrderSortSpecifiers": true, "plugins": ["@trivago/prettier-plugin-sort-imports"] }
"^(?!.*\\.(css|scss)$)@?\\w"
ensures that any import starting with an optional @
followed by a word character will only match if the string does not end with .css
or .scss
."^(?!.*\\.(css|scss)$)@/"
.".*\\.(css|scss)$"
, catches all CSS/SCSS imports and places them at the bottom.This change ensures that an import like 'bootstrap/dist/css/bootstrap.min.css'
is matched by the CSS-specific rule and appears at the bottom of the list.

I came across this GitHub issue, which helped me resolve the problem.

"
importOrder
: ["^[./].*(?<!.(c|le|sc)ss)$", ".(c|le|sc)ss$"]
The use of the negative lookahead solved it. Hopefully it helps someone
JSON{ "printWidth": 80, "tabWidth": 2, "useTabs": false, "semi": true, "singleQuote": true, "trailingComma": "es5", "bracketSpacing": true, "arrowParens": "always", "importOrder": ["^[./].*(?<!\.(c|le|sc)ss)$", "\.(c|le|sc)ss$"], "importOrderSeparation": true, "importOrderSortSpecifiers": true, "plugins": ["@trivago/prettier-plugin-sort-imports"] }
