Just stumbled upon the problem, would really like a fix

This is done for security reasons.

Example:

// a.js
export function func {
  return 1
}

// b.js
export function func {
  return 2
}

Depending on the priority, we will have different function values.

We intentionally do not sort exports with an * because there may be conflicts.

[snevolin]

Actually, this problem doesn’t exist in TypeScript because these conflicts are immediately visible. Maybe we could consider implementing sorting just for ts files?

[azat-io]

Could you please demonstrate what the conflicts look like in the TS files?

[snevolin]

// a.ts
export function func () {
  return 1
}

// b.ts
export function func () {
  return 2
}

And if you had put exports in index.ts like this

export * from './b'
export * from './a'

You'd get a TS error:

Module './b' has already exported a member named 'func'. Consider explicitly re-exporting to resolve the ambiguity.ts(2308)
