VSCode plugin to reorder selected lines by their length!
Reduce cognitive load and make your code look pretty!

Example

this.validator = validator;
this.x = x;
this.mapper = mapper;

this.dao = dao;

How To Use

• Select the lines of text you want to reorder
• Right click and choose Reorder Lines By Length

What does it do?

• Grabs the selected text
• Splits them into an array by the new-line character
• Sorts the array by ascending order of string length
• Replaces selected text with the sorted text
• Formats the selected text as well, so that everything looks neat!

Disclaimer

• Please note that this will work only for groups of single lines i.e., the selected text should not contain any code that spans more than a single line
  
  For example, the below snippet of code cannot be used with this plugin.

// Reordering this will break, since the code spans more than one line
let lines = selectedText
    .split('\n')
    .filter((line) => line)
    .map((x) => x.id = 6);

• Also, please make sure to select entire lines i.e., starting from the first character till the last!
• IntelliJ plugin also available!
