smart-sort-lines

Sorts lines of code with a tiny bit of intelligence.

If all but the last line of text end with a comma, then after sorting, all but the last line of text will still end with a comma.

If the first line of text is a left bracket and the last line of text is a right bracket, they will not be sorted.

For example, this text:

  [
    cat,
    ant,
    BAT
  ]

gets sorted to:

  [
    ant,
    BAT,
    cat
  ]
