'How can I specify the order of imports in intellij IDEA?
Intellij keeps reordering my imports like so:
import app.v1.myModule.db.model.InternalError;
import app.v1.myModule.db.model.*;
Whereas our maven checkstyle wants the order like so:
import app.v1.myModule.db.model.*;
import app.v1.myModule.db.model.InternalError;
I should also point out, that this doesn't apply to all the imports, only some of them.
I'd like to set it so intellij organises all packages that end with a * to be sorted above fully qualified imports on the same path?
So like this:
import app.v1.myModule.db.model.*;
import app.v1.myModule.db.model.InternalError;
import app.v1.myModule.service.*;
import app.v1.myModule.service.MyService;
For the record, the extra classes are added when the import is ambiguous, so we can't use the * for those particular classes.

In IntelliJ you can go to settings -> code style -> java -> Imports Tab
There you have the Imports layout, where you can set up your needed settings.
