isort your imports, so you don't have to.
isort is a Python utility / library to sort imports alphabetically and
automatically separate into sections and by type. It provides a command
line
utility, Python library and [plugins for various
editors] to
quickly sort all your imports. It requires Python 3.8+ to run but
supports formatting Python 2 code too.

- [isort has official support for pre-commit!]
![Example Usage]
Before isort:

lib8, lib9, lib10, lib11, lib12, lib13, lib14
import sys
