`sort-css` takes filenames as positional arguments.

- `--by_html BY_HTML`  Order CSS declarations by HTML's order.
- `-i, --in_place`     Edits file in-place.

## Usage examples

Result directly goes to stdout.
```bash
sort-css test_dir/test_css.css
```

File will be edited in-place with the result.
```bash
sort-css -i test_dir/test_css.css
```

Redirect the stdout to a new file.
```bash
sort-css test_dir/test_css.css > test_dir/cleaned_css.css
```

Result reordered by html directly goes to stdout.
```bash
sort-css test_dir/test_css.css
```

Reorder by html and redirect the stdout to a new file.
```bash
sort-css test_dir/test_css.css --by_html test_dir/test_html.html > test_dir/cleaned_css.css
```


## What does it do?

### Without `--by_html` flag.
#### Separates block of grouped declarations and reorders them alphabetically the following way.
- General tags, like `<body>, <div>, <h1>, etc...` goes to the top of the file ordered alphabetically.
- Followed by the general tags, come the id or class specified declarations.
