Write Sorting

What It Does

Write sorting keeps translation key order stable in locale files, reducing noisy diffs and improving reviews.

How to Use

Entry Points

• Sidebar (Grimoire) -> Sort
• Command Palette -> i18n Mage: Sort

Sort Modes

• none
• byKey
• byPosition (flat locale structure only)

Auto Sort After Fix

• sortAfterFix = true: sort automatically after Fix
• sortAfterFix = false: sort only when manually triggered

Related Settings

• i18n-mage.writeRules.sortRule
• i18n-mage.writeRules.sortAfterFix
• i18n-mage.writeRules.languageStructure

Tips

• Use byKey for stable deterministic output across teams.
• Use byPosition when you want key order aligned with source-code appearance.
