postcss-sorting
Advanced tools
The postcss-sorting npm package is a tool for sorting CSS properties in a specific order. It can be used to enforce a consistent order in CSS files, which can make them more readable and maintainable. It is built as a PostCSS plugin and can be integrated into build processes to automatically sort properties according to a predefined set of rules.
Sorting CSS properties
This feature allows developers to automatically sort CSS properties within a stylesheet. The sorting can be customized through options to fit the team's or project's coding standards.
postcss([ require('postcss-sorting')({ /* options */ }) ]).process(css, { from: undefined }).then(result => { console.log(result.css); });
Sorting at-rules
With postcss-sorting, developers can also sort at-rules in a specific order. This can include sorting of media queries, font-face declarations, and other at-rules to improve the structure of the CSS.
postcss([ require('postcss-sorting')({ order: ['custom-properties', 'dollar-variables', 'declarations', 'at-rules', 'rules'] }) ]).process(css, { from: undefined }).then(result => { console.log(result.css); });
Sorting based on custom order
Developers can define a custom order for properties to be sorted. This allows for a highly personalized sorting order that can adhere to specific coding guidelines or preferences.
postcss([ require('postcss-sorting')({ 'properties-order': ['position', 'top', 'right', 'bottom', 'left'] }) ]).process(css, { from: undefined }).then(result => { console.log(result.css); });
stylelint-order is a plugin for stylelint that checks the order of content within declaration blocks. While it does not automatically sort properties, it can enforce a specific order and report when the order is incorrect.
csscomb is a coding style formatter for CSS. Similar to postcss-sorting, it can sort properties according to a specific order. However, csscomb is not a PostCSS plugin and works as a standalone tool or integrated with other code editors.
perfectionist is another PostCSS plugin that beautifies CSS by formatting it according to a consistent standard. It includes sorting capabilities but also focuses on other aspects of beautification, such as indentation and whitespace.
PostCSS plugin to keep rules and at-rules content in order.
Also available as Sublime Text, Atom, VS Code, and Emacs plugin.
Lint and autofix style sheets order with stylelint-order.
$ npm install postcss-sorting
The plugin has no default options. Everything is disabled by default.
order
: Specify the order of content within declaration blocks.properties-order
: Specify the order of properties within declaration blocks.unspecified-properties-position
: Specify position for properties not specified in properties-order
.throw-validate-errors
: Throw config validation errors instead of just showing and ignoring them. Defaults to false
.Comments that are before node and on a separate line linked to that node. Shared-line comments are also linked to that node. Shared-line comments are comments which are located after a node and on the same line as a node.
a {
top: 5px; /* shared-line comment belongs to `top` */
/* comment belongs to `bottom` */
/* comment belongs to `bottom` */
bottom: 15px; /* shared-line comment belongs to `bottom` */
}
Some at-rules, like control and function directives in Sass, are ignored. It means rules won't touch content inside these at-rules, as doing so could change or break functionality.
2.x
Remove all *-empty-line-before
and clean-empty-lines
options. Use stylelint with --fix
option instead.
properties-order
doesn't support property groups. Convert it to simple array. Use stylelint-order with --fix
option for empty line before property groups.
Config for 2.x
:
{
"properties-order": [
{
"properties": [
"margin",
"padding"
]
},
{
"emptyLineBefore": true,
"properties": [
"border",
"background"
]
}
]
}
Config for 3.x
:
{
"properties-order": [
"margin",
"padding",
"border",
"background"
]
}

This plugin available as Sublime Text, Atom, VS Code, and Emacs plugin.
Add Gulp PostCSS and PostCSS Sorting to your build tool:
npm install gulp-postcss postcss-sorting --save-dev
Enable PostCSS Sorting within your Gulpfile:
var postcss = require('gulp-postcss');
var sorting = require('postcss-sorting');
gulp.task('css', function () {
return gulp.src('./css/src/*.css').pipe(
postcss([
sorting({ /* options */ })
])
).pipe(
gulp.dest('./css/src')
);
});
Add Grunt PostCSS and PostCSS Sorting to your build tool:
npm install grunt-postcss postcss-sorting --save-dev
Enable PostCSS Sorting within your Gruntfile:
grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-postcss');
grunt.initConfig({
postcss: {
options: {
processors: [
require('postcss-sorting')({ /* options */ })
]
},
dist: {
src: 'css/*.css'
}
}
});
Add postcss-cli and PostCSS Sorting to your project:
npm install postcss-cli postcss-sorting --save-dev
Create an appropriate postcss.config.js
like this example:
module.exports = (ctx) => ({
plugins: {
'postcss-sorting': {
'order': [
'custom-properties',
'dollar-variables',
'declarations',
'at-rules',
'rules'
],
'properties-order': 'alphabetical',
'unspecified-properties-position': 'bottom'
}
}
})
Or, simply add the 'postcss-sorting'
section to your existing postcss-cli configuration file. Next, execute:
postcss -c postcss.config.js --no-map -r your_css_file.css
For more information and options, please consult the postcss-cli docs.
stylelint and stylelint-order help lint style sheets and let you know if style sheet order is correct. Also, they could autofix style sheets.
I recommend Prettier for formatting style sheets.
