uv-sort
Sort uv's dependencies alphabetically
Decision gist · record as of 2026-08-14
Yes. Low install friction, active maintenance, no known vulnerabilities, and permissive licensing make it a safe choice. Install it if you use uv and want to enforce alphabetical dependency ordering in your projects—or use uvx to run it on demand without installation.AI-flagged interpretation of the facts on this page — verify before relying
Before you install
- Low friction: pure Python wheel with only two runtime dependencies (tomlrt and typer).

uv-sort --checkWhat it is and what it does
uv-sort is a command-line tool that alphabetically sorts dependencies in uv project configuration files. It reads and rewrites pyproject.toml files to organize dependencies across multiple sections—dependency-groups, project.dependencies, project.optional-dependencies, tool.uv.dev-dependencies, and tool.uv.sources—into alphabetical order.
The tool runs as a standalone CLI and integrates with pre-commit and Lefthook workflows. It offers a --check flag to verify whether dependencies are already sorted, a --dry-run flag to preview changes without writing, and can be invoked directly or through uv's tools system (uvx) without installation. The package depends on tomlrt for TOML parsing and typer for CLI argument handling.
Use it for
- Enforce consistent dependency ordering in CI/CD pipelines using the --check flag to fail builds when dependencies are unsorted.
- Integrate into pre-commit hooks to automatically sort dependencies before commits are accepted.
- Standardize dependency organization across multiple uv-based projects without manual editing.
- Preview dependency sorting changes with --dry-run before applying them to pyproject.toml.
- Run as a one-off tool via uvx without installing it locally to sort a single project's dependencies.
