tfsort variables.tf

This will sort the resources in variables.tf in place. You can also use the --out flag to specify an output file:

This will create a new file called sorted.tf with the sorted resources.

tfsort variables.tf --dry-run

This will print the sorted resources to the console without altering the original file.
