Incorrect backtick imports order

[BraisGabin]

Expected Behavior

If I reformat a file with IntelliJ/AS and then I reformat it with ktlint they don't do/undo the same change.

Observed Behavior

When I format my code with IntelliJ thse imports are ordered like this:

import org.hamcrest.CoreMatchers.`is`
import org.hamcrest.CoreMatchers.instanceOf

But with ktlint they are ordered like this:

import org.hamcrest.CoreMatchers.instanceOf
import org.hamcrest.CoreMatchers.`is`

Your Environment

• Version of ktlint used: 0.45.1

Yes indeed. The backticks are ignored when sorting the imports. This was a conscious change. But I did not knew it conflicts with IntelliJ sorting. I will mark the issue as such.

This is an IntelliJ bug. Fixed in 2022.1.
