Tracking Issue for Rust 2024: rustfmt use version sort

[traviscross]

This is a tracking issue for the rustfmt / T-style work needed to use version sort order in Style Edition 2024.

• Consider using human/natural sort order style-team#143
• Use version-sorting for all sorting #115046

About tracking issues

Tracking issues are used to record the overall progress of implementation. They are also used as hubs connecting to other relevant issues, e.g., bugs or open design questions. A tracking issue is however not meant for large scale discussion, questions, or bug reports about a feature. Instead, open a dedicated issue for the specific matter and add the relevant feature gate label.

Steps

• Implement in nightly Rust 2024.
  • Implement version-sort for imports in style_edition 2024 rustfmt#6284
  • apply 2024 version sort algorithm to mods rustfmt#6368
• Add documentation to the edition guide.
  • 2024: rustfmt sorting edition-guide#332
• Add formatting for new syntax to the style guide.
  • Use version-sorting for all sorting #115046
• Ensure ready for Rust 2024 stabilization.

Unresolved Questions

None.

@calebcartwright @traviscross Verifying: this is labeled T-style and I-style-nominated, but as far as I know, this is something style already reviewed, approved, and merged into the style guide. I think this is now exclusively a matter for the rustfmt team, right?

I think we answered this in a more synchronous forum like one of our t-style meetings, but for posterity, yes that's correct
