Description
Feature Request
Add a configuration option that to sort all the absolute paths (i.e. with baseUrl = /src in jsconfig.json) after all the node_modules paths.
Reason
More and more people use alias to avoid long relative paths. It's a common practice to have first the third-party imports, then the absolute paths, and finally the relative ones.

Research direction
Start by locating the organize-imports implementation and its configuration handling. Trace how absolute, node_modules, and relative imports are currently grouped, then identify the relevant tests; done means the new option places absolute imports after node_modules imports without changing the default behavior.
