Make organizeImports configurable in severity (e.g. allow warning instead of error)

[tim-we]

Hey folks, thanks for you work on Biome — it's been (mostly) a please to use. There is just one thing that bugs me a bit. Its the organizeImports feature.

• If enabled it causes the lint check to fail if imports are not properly ordered.
• The format check happily accepts imports in the wrong order.
• You can configure the severity of every lint rule except for the organize import thing, that has always the severity error.

I personally don’t consider unorganized imports to be an error and would prefer my CI pipelines not to fail because of this.
But since I can't lower the severity or disable it selectively, my only option is to turn it off entirely — which means I also lose the ability to use Biome to organize imports.

Would it be possible to make the severity of this behavior configurable, like any other lint rule?

Are you using v1.* or the v2 beta release? Have you checked the docs? What's missing?

v1.*

You can disable it in CI. Here it explains how to enforce import sorting: https://biomejs.dev/analyzer/import-sorting/#import-sorting-via-cli

As you see and infer, you can use the same flag to disable it.

Plus, you can selectively toggle the feature using overrides.

v2.beta

Similarly, you can use --enforce-assist to toggle the assists into error or not
