Description linelect 2016-10-25 12:24:11 UTC 
If we try organize imports - we get wrong order.
For example:

NetBeans before organize imports:
import com.company.data.Byte;
import com.company.data.Class;
import com.company.zata.Long;
import com.company.zata.Short;
import com.company.data.*;
import com.company.zata.*;

NetBeans after organize imports:
import com.company.data.Byte;
import com.company.data.Class;
import com.company.data.*;
import com.company.zata.*;
import com.company.zata.Long;
import com.company.zata.Short;

This is wrong order, the correct result will be:
import com.company.data.Byte;
import com.company.data.Class;
import com.company.data.*;
import com.company.zata.Long;
import com.company.zata.Short;
import com.company.zata.*;

This rule order should work also with static imports.

P.S.: Why the hell we should import com.company.data.Class when we already imported com.company.data.*?
It's because java.lang.* (and java.lang.Class) imported implicitly.
If we don't import com.company.data.Class then compiler assumes that we refer to java.lang.Class.
And we cannot rename the class "Class" because it's in external library
