support sort rules by error count

[tjx666]

Expect:

I wany to sort the rules by error count instead of rule name.

Why:

1. I want to fix the rule with many errors one by one. And then fix the all rule with few errors one time.
2. By sort the rules with error count, I can see which rule annoy user most

Solution

provide option --order which support enum string:

• 'error'
• 'warning'
• 'fixable'
• 'suggestion'

I understand your needs. However, I am concerned that the UI for sorting will be complex and difficult for users to use.

Some users may want to specify multiple columns to sort (e.g. --sort="error, fixable"). They may also want to specify the order to sort (e.g. --sort="error DESC, fixable ASC").

In addition to sorting records, some users may want to filter records (like #296). Or some users may want to search for matching records by entering keywords. And it is difficult to build such a complex UI on the console.

In the first place, with the command line option sorting mechanism, if you want to change the sorting method, you will have to restart eslint-interactive. This makes users uncomfortable.

While the sorting feature is certainly useful, I feel that it is difficult to achieve a user-friendly UI. Therefore, I am reluctant to implement this feature. Of course, I welcome any good ideas you may have!

Fortunately, eslint-interactive provides Programmable API. It allows users to implement their favorite eslint-interactive GUI client.
