+**default value:** `[]`
+
+In general, it is not safe to reorder imports that do not actually import anything (side-effect-only imports), because these imports are affecting the global scope, the order in which they occur can be important.
+
+However, in some cases, you may know that some of your side-effect imports can be sorted along with normal imports.  For example, `import "server-only"` can be used in some React applications to ensure some code only runs on the server.  For these cases, this option is an escape hatch.
+
+This option accepts an array of regex patterns which will be compared against side-effect-only imports to determine if they are safe to reorder along with the rest of your imports.  By default, no such imports are considered safe.  You can opt-in to sorting them by adding them to this option.  We recommend using `^` at the start and `$` at the end of your pattern, to be sure they match exactly.
