Optimize imports as part of refactoring in IntelliJ IDEA

I'm planning to move a widely used class from the non-standard package mycompany.etc to the more standard com.mycompany.etc. IDEA finds and updates references nicely, but when doing so, it updates import statements in-place without moving them according to the import order. The result is that they end up wildly out of place between all the remaining non-standard imports starting with mycompany.

Is there a way to instruct IDEA to move the updated import statement, or better yet, automatically perform an 'optimize imports' on each file where imports were updated during refactoring?

Given the fact that 8+ years later, as of 2024.2.4, a fully in-IDE solution still doesn't seem to exist, it's perhaps worth mentioning that I ended up writing a git hook that fixes the import order only in files that were changed or added in a particular commit.

Maybe you should use "Optimize imports on the fly". Settings-> General-> Auto import-> Optimize imports on the fly
