Option to apply to `package.json` files with different names

[benmccann]

I maintain the Svelte CLI and we have files named package.template.json that we use in creating new Svelte files. I would love if there were a way to apply this plugin to those files as well as our package.json files

Thanks for the feature request!

I'm thinking of adding a packageJsonForceSort option that works with Prettier's overrides:

{
  "overrides": [
    {
      "files": "package.template.json",
      "options": {
        "parser": "json-stringify",
        "packageJsonForceSort": true
      }
    }
  ]
}

This approach:

• Keeps backward compatibility (existing package.json behavior unchanged)
• Leverages Prettier's built-in overrides for flexible file matching
• Simple boolean option - no need to learn regex patterns

Would this work for your use case?
