Is there an official order of sections?

Not sure if this has been discussed elsewhere, but is there an official order that the different directives should be written? And if there is would it be possible to have snakefmt enforce that order?

Hello, interesting question.

That sounds like something the linter should be in charge of, not the formatter- are you aware of the linter?. I suspect it currently doesn't warn about that though.

I use both the linter and the the formatter, and I haven't seen it warn about this.

This is a really interesting question and something I have also often wondered about!

It would be nice to have a unified ordering. This might best be handled by a separate tool though - analogous to isort and black for python.

Great idea to standardize order, like isort for imports! I would happily use such a tool (in case anyone feels like writing one).

I'm struggling to maintain this repo let alone create a new one 😭
