CheckId	SA1211
Category	Ordering Rules

Cause

The using-alias directives within a C# code file are not sorted alphabetically by alias name.

Rule description

A violation of this rule occurs when the using-alias directives are not sorted alphabetically by alias name. Sorting the using-alias directives alphabetically can make the code cleaner and easier to read, and can help make it easier to identify the namespaces that are being used by the code.

Global using directives (C# 10) are analyzed independently from local using directives. Diagnostics and fixes compare only directives which both use, or both omit, the global modifier.

How to fix violations

To fix an instance of this violation, order the using-alias directives alphabetically by alias name.
