Bug Description

In the process of upgrading SwiftLint to the latest version, prior to the rewrite of the sorted_imports rule the following passed:

Example 1

BEFORE

public import SharedDomain
@_private(sourceFile: "GeneratedStringsSymbols_BrandA.swift")
import StringsBrandA
import SwiftUI

AFTER

@_private(sourceFile: "GeneratedStringsSymbols_BrandA.swift")
import StringsBrandA
public import SharedDomain
import SwiftUI

Example 2

BEFORE

public import A
public import C
import B
import D

AFTER

public import A
import B
public import C
import D

I'm unsure if this is intentional or not, if yes, maybe a configuration could be added?

Mention the command or other SwiftLint integration method that caused the issue. Include stack traces or command output.

$ swiftlint lint --fix
