Custom sort recursively does not work with sort arrays.

[huxuan]

When enable both Use Custom Sort Recursively and Sort Arrays, it is supposed to apply custom sort arrays but actually not.

For example:

python_version:
  - '3.8'
  - '3.9'
  - '3.10'
  - '3.11'

When enable both Use Custom Sort Recursively and Sort Arrays, with effective custom sort keys:

"vscode-yaml-sort.customSortKeywords_2": [
    "3.8",
    "3.9",
    "3.10",
    "3.11"
]

it will be formatted as following instead which is supposed to keep the original order.

python_version:
  - '3.10'
  - '3.11'
  - '3.8'
  - '3.9'

BTW, objects work as expected.

Hello @huxuan , the customSortKeywords does only apply for keywords and not for list items. I will keep this issue open, for a feature to custom sort lists.

Tangentially related. I was trying to sort some infrastructure-as-code YAML with a custom sort definition that started with name. It would have been really nice if the array sort had sorted my list of services by values the sorted keys. However, I think that in many situations that would make no sense at all, so I don't know exactly how to define a good sort order.

Example

services:
  - name: foo
    type: api
  - name: bar
    type: worker

When my custom sort definition is name or name, type, I'd like this to be sorted as:

services:
  - name: bar
    type: worker
  - name: foo
    type: api

When my custom sort definition is type or type, name, I'd like this to be sorted as:

services:
  - type: api
    name: foo
  - type: worker
    name: bar
