sort-maps

Enforce sorted elements within JavaScript Map object.

Sorting elements within JavaScript Map objects provides a clear and predictable structure to the codebase. This rule detects instances where Map elements are not sorted and raises linting errors, encouraging developers to arrange elements in the desired order.

By maintaining a consistent structure across Map objects, this rule improves readability and makes it easier to locate and understand key-value pairs.
