With following user settings:

{
    "editor.codeActionsOnSave": {
        "source.addMissingImports": true,
        "source.fixAll.eslint": true,
        "source.fixAll.stylelint": true,
        "source.fixAll.markdownlint": true,
        "source.organizeImports.sortImport": true
    },
    "editor.formatOnSave": true,
    "[javascript][javascriptreact][typescript][typescriptreact][vue][json][jsonc]": {
        "editor.defaultFormatter": "esbenp.prettier-vscode"
    },
}

The solution is add following settings:

{
    "tsImportSorter.configuration.autoFormat": "off",
    "tsImportSorter.configuration.wrappingStyle": "prettier",
}

That's why my format result is differen't with you in pr: https://github.com/daidodo/format-imports/pull/18

When you set:

tsImportSorter.configuration.wrappingStyle": "prettier"

The plugin will mimic prettier's result which doesn't wrap unless line limit is met.

So the question is why you have it in vscode user settings?

I add that setting because I want to ensure the wrappingStyle using prettier style

The key probelem is when I using first setting, will cause code falsh like in video.

Seems to avoid flash, only need add:

{
    "tsImportSorter.configuration.autoFormat": "off",
}

Now I understand your problem. The "flash" you see is due to twice formations by prettier and this plugin. It's gone when you turn either off.

I understand it's unpleasant but there's not much I can do (or I don't know what to do).

Happy to take advices!

For anyone with the same question, my advice is to disable auto format and just using the codeActionOnSave:

{
    "editor.codeActionsOnSave": {
        // others...
        "source.organizeImports.sortImport": true,
        "tsImportSorter.configuration.autoFormat": "off",
    },
}
