🐛 Plugin clashes with "Optimize imports"

Description

Since Biome doesn't automatically remove unused exports, I also need to have "Optimize imports" active as an Action on Save. But when both are active, there's a race condition which one gets to actually sort the imports.

Here's the related issue on JetBrains's side: https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/WEB-74358

Steps to reproduce

1. Activate both "Optimize imports" and "Run Biome sort import" under "Actions on Save" in the settings
2. Create a TypeScript file with multiple imports
3. Save it

Expected behavior

The file should always be saved in a way so that the imports pass biome check without warnings. Instead, sometimes imports are first sorted by Biome, then by optimize imports, leading to a warning from Biome that the imports are not sorted correctly.

Does this issue occur when using the CLI directly?

No

Since Biome doesn't automatically remove unused exports

It does if you make the code fix of noUnusedImports safe

Thanks, that does indeed solve it and seems like a better solution than having to run both JetBrains and Biome.
