This is not in my context menu. However, I can use Command Palette -> ‘Organize Imports’. That requires the isort extension by Microsoft to be installed.

Thanks for explaining the sorting criteria. I thought there was something wrong with my VS Code because I couldn't notice the sorting order in mine.

How did you get the import statements to automatically move to the top of the Python file?
