Explanation

backend is an alias and it shouldn't be on the top of the list

This isn't something that Biome supports: https://biomejs.dev/analyzer/#how-imports-are-sorted

So I wouldn't consider this a bug, but a feature request. I suggest you to open a GitHub discussion and close this issue 😃

[marmotz]

Not a bug, but a needed feature !

Or the possibility of specifying an order of imports, as in @trivago/prettier-plugin-sort-imports https://github.com/trivago/prettier-plugin-sort-imports?tab=readme-ov-file#importorder

[elie222]

Would love to see progress on this. Anyone using the standard Next.js format will have lots of @/component type imports, but most would prefer to see imports like react at the top of the file instead. Would love to be able to tell biome to put @/ imports at the bottom instead. You can use groups to do this, but that's manual work on every file you work on.

The following RFC should make you happy: #3015
