@JonnyHaystack I like your IncludeCategories config but I found a case that sorts includes like this

#include "selectedTile.hpp"
#include "../../input.hpp"
#include "../../size.hpp"
#include "../../tiles/style.hpp"
#include "../tilemap.hpp"

do you think that it will be possible push to the bottom directories that are more deep like this?

#include "selectedTile.hpp"
#include "../tilemap.hpp"
#include "../../input.hpp"
#include "../../size.hpp"
#include "../../tiles/style.hpp"

Hmm, not sure how to make it treat those differently and essentially reverse the sort order while keeping them in the same group.

@dortamiguel thanks, this works great for me!
I only had to add one more setting:
PenaltyReturnTypeOnItsOwnLine: 200
Otherwise I ended up with something like this:

bool
myFunction(/* some args that would fit into one line */) {
  // ...
}

PenaltyReturnTypeOnItsOwnLine

thank you! that is great :)
