To set up eslint-plugin-import to sort imports alphabetically regardless of file path, you first need to install it using npm:

npm install --save-dev eslint-plugin-import

Then, update your .eslintrc file to include the following configuration:

{
  "plugins": [
    "import"
  ],
  "rules": {
    "import/order": [
      "error",
      {
        "alphabetize": {
          "order": "asc"
        }
      }
    ]
  }
}

This configuration sets the import/order rule to error (meaning any violations will cause an error message to be displayed), and sets the alphabetize option to sort imports in ascending order.

This configuration will ensure that imports are sorted alphabetically, regardless of the file path, helping you keep a consistent order and ensuring that imports are easy to find, even in larger codebases.
