Type imports do not follow rules from import/order

[ImRodry]

I have the import/order rule set up with the following configuration:

		"import/order": ["error", {
			"groups": [	"builtin", "index", "external", "internal", "sibling", "parent", "type"],
			"newlines-between": "always",
			"alphabetize": { "order": "asc", "caseInsensitive": true }
		}],

And I expected the groups rule to be applied to type imports, however this doesn't seem the case and these imports seem to just get sorted alphabetically. Here's an example:

// Sorted type imports by import/order
import type { Command } from "../../lib/imports"
import type { WithId } from "mongodb"

Expected sorting following the order external -> internal
import type { WithId } from "mongodb"
import type { Command } from "../../lib/imports"

As I understand this may be seen as expected behavior for some people, I believe this fix could be introduced as a boolean option for the rule that would come disabled by default.

They should be sorted by specifier. The import names have no bearing on the sorting.

I definitely agree that it makes sense to, within the group "type", sort everything by groups as well. It'd probably be best to do this under an option, yes.

Ah sorry for my misunderstanding! Is there any documentation on what each one of the groups mean so that I can try to configure my rule better?
Glad to know you agree with this though, looking forward to seeing this in a future release!

I don't think there's any way to configure it for what you want, at the moment. The best path forward is a PR adding the option you want :-)
