It is consistent though, do you have a better generic system for grouping object keys than alphabetization? It’s pretty handy to approach a codebase knowing that it has enforced this convention.


The point is that it's not generic: there is meaning conveyed by the grouping that can't be expressed as an easy script (which is why there's a human writing the code in the first place).


My point is that having rules on this kind of detail is more harmful than beneficial, so there should not be one in the first place.
