Sort and Remove unused usings in C# code

Is there a way to Sort and Remove Unused usings in C# just like in Visual Studio 2015 and 2017?

If not, could this be an addition to a future Visual Studio Code version?

There is a command that is built into vscode to help out removing unused usings.

The default keybinding is defined as:

{ "key": "ctrl+.", "command": "editor.action.quickFix",
                      "when": "editorHasCodeActionsProvider && 
                               editorTextFocus && 
                               !editorReadonly" },

As for sorting the usings: I did not find anything built explicitly for using statements, but there is a command to sort lines. Add something similar to the following into your keybindings file:

{ "key": "ctrl+q", "command": "editor.action.sortLinesAscending",
                      "when": "editorFocus && !editorReadonly" },

Then, select the using statements and press ctrl+q to sort them.
