Introduction
Similar to #783, but for list values / object keys
Proposal
When a data structure like a list or object is used, we often like to have the elements sorted alphanumerically. It would be nice to have an optional (and not enabled by default) linter rule to enforce this. Open to suggestions about, for example, if all unquoted values are first or last, but overall, should work like a naïve alphnumeric sort that factors in numeric values
For example:
passes
bar = {
groups = [
var.bar.email,
var.foo.email,
"xyz",
]
service_accounts = [data.terraform_remote_state.foo.outputs.xyz, "foo"]
}
foo = [0, 1, 2, 3, 100, "foo", "bar"]
generates errors
bar = {
groups = [
var.foo.email,
"xyz",
var.bar.email,
]
service_accounts = ["foo", data.terraform_remote_state.foo.outputs.xyz]
}
foo = [0, 3, 1, 100, 2, "bar", "foo"]
