Summary
This PR proposes a new rule that protocol composition type aliases should be sorted alphabetically.
Autocorrect is implemented in the SwiftFormat
sortTypealiases
rule, added in nicklockwood/SwiftFormat#1445.Reasoning
Type aliases are an unordered list with no natural ordering. Sorting alphabetically keeps these lists more organized, which is especially valuable for long protocol compositions.
