Suggests sorting pubspec dependencies in alphabetical order (A to Z).

Works for dependencies, dev_dependencies and dependency_overrides pubspec section.

⚙️ Config

Set flutter (default is unset, can be set to first, last or unset) to configure the position of dependencies from the Flutter SDK (example).

analysis_options.yaml

dcm:
  pubspec-rules:
    - dependencies-ordering:
        flutter: unset

Example

❌ Bad:

pubspec.yaml

name: some_package
description: ...
version: 1.0.0

dependencies:
  xml: '>=5.3.0 <7.0.0'
  yaml: 3.1.0+1
  test: 1.22.2 # LINT: Dependencies are not sorted alphabetically. Try sorting them from A to Z.

✅ Good:

pubspec.yaml

name: some_package
description: ...
version: 1.0.0

dependencies:
  test: 1.22.2
  xml: '>=5.3.0 <7.0.0'
  yaml: 3.1.0+1
