One of the rules we have in our JS code base that we defined very early in the project lifecycle is the

• External dependencies
• WordPress dependencies
• Internal dependencies.

Personally overtime, I noticed that they doesn't really add much value and only add friction. I'm proposing that we remove it entirely.

I know some projects also use alphabetical order for imports, while a bit better, I actually don't mind not having any rules here to ease refactoring, PRs and reviews.

Maybe the only rule that I'd have (and not sure how possible to do) is to write imports at the top of the file before actual code.
