Description
When a developer opens the "Quick fix" context menu to import a dependency. VSCode currently defaults to alphabetical order, with external dependencies shown first (as best I can tell).
Libraries with similar variable names will often get preference over the most commonly used import in a project. This request would ensure that the most commonly used import is shown first.
In this example the `./utils/store` export `useTheme` is used throughout the project, the `@mui/material` export `useTheme` is not used, but is shown first.
In this example the `~/utils/store` export `useStore` is used throughout the project, the `zustand` export `useStore` is not used, but is shown first.
