Description
My favour is the following order, sorted by priority.
- Sub module
- Super module
- Current crate
- Workspace crates
std/alloc/coreitems- External crates
However, the current auto-import feature enforces a built-in order which I cannot adjust.

It would be better if I don't have to reorder imports manually.

Research direction
Start with the auto-import section of the rust-analyzer manual linked in the issue and trace how its built-in ordering is implemented. Define how users would configure the requested priority order, then verify that submodules, super modules, the current crate, workspace crates, standard-library items, and external crates are ordered accordingly.
