Frequently Asked Questions
Why should I format CSS?
Production stylesheets are frequently minified to reduce bandwidth. Formatting and beautifying restores legible structure with clear selectors and declarations, making styles easy to inspect, debug, and maintain.
Does property sorting break CSS cascade rules?
In most standard CSS blocks, properties are independent (e.g. color, font-size, margin). However, if you rely on shorthand overrides (like declaring margin before margin-top), keep property sorting unchecked.
