Missorted imports

Reports import statements which are not arranged according to the current code style (see Settings|Editor|Code Style).

Example:

  import java.util.List;
  import java.util.ArrayList;

  public class Example {
    List list = new ArrayList();
  }

After the "Optimize Imports" quick fix is applied:

  import java.util.ArrayList;
  import java.util.List;

  public class Example {
    List list = new ArrayList();
  }
