Prettier config messes the order of scripts

[ezhlobo]

We get a value sorting all properties inside package.json file. However we change the order of 'scripts' also, that's becoming annoying. I sort those scripts logically, but then I loose that.

Before	After
"dev": "", "build": "", "preview": "", "check": "", "check:lint": "", "check:format": "", "fix": "", "fix:lint": "", "fix:format": ""	"build": "", "check": "", "check:lint": "", "check:format": "", "dev": "", "fix": "", "fix:lint": "", "fix:format": "" "preview": "",

So I currently override to remove prettier-plugin-packagejson plugin, however it would be great to still sort package.json fields but ignore scripts (or specify custom order).

@ezhlobo It uses sort-package-json under the hood and it's not configurable. Here is author's explanation - https://github.com/keithamus/sort-package-json?tab=readme-ov-file#i-would-like-this-tool-to-be-configurable-with-a-config-file-or-command-line-arguments. For scripts it uses Script sort. The only way I see is to fork the project and update the sorting. But I would just live with the current behavior. Initially, I also had that problem but quickly got used to it.

@lesha1201 the fun thing about that explanation is that we can configure the order of root level properties (via packageSortOrder prettier rule) but we can't for scripts... So I kinda feel fooled :).

I fully agree being zero-configuration and force single style, but I don't agree with alphabetically sorted scripts which are fully user defined. There are better ways to sort human-written things rather than alphabetically.

Can we consider other plugin for prettier?

[lesha1201]

@ezhlobo Yes, we can consider. But I don't know any other similar plugins. Do you know some? In case we can't find an alternative, we can probably create our own plugin based on prettier-plugin-packagejson and sort-package-json which shouldn't be hard.
