Is there a way to organize elements during formatting?

For example if I have imports

import A.A
import B.C
import A.B
import B.B

after formatting I want to get to following result

import A.A
import A.B

import B.B
import B.C

Formatting should only adjust whitespace and not change the semantic model. What you are asking for looks more like an "organize import" clean up.

So, yes, you can do that but not with the formatter. You could for instance change the model and then use the serializer to write it back.

Have a look at the OrganizeImportsHandler here: https://github.com/eclipse/xtext-eclipse/blob/master/org.eclipse.xtext.xbase.ui/src/org/eclipse/xtext/xbase/ui/imports/OrganizeImportsHandler.java#L33
