npm install @kyou-izumi/inquirer-ordered-checkbox

import orderedCheckbox from '@kyou-izumi/inquirer-ordered-checkbox';

const answer = await orderedCheckbox({
  message: 'Select your priorities in order:',
  choices: [
    'Complete project documentation',
    'Fix critical bugs',
    'Implement new features',
    'Code review',
    'Write tests'
  ]
});

console.log('Your priorities:', answer);
// Output: ['Fix critical bugs', 'Complete project documentation', 'Write tests']

import orderedCheckbox, { Separator } from '@kyou-izumi/inquirer-ordered-checkbox';

const answer = await orderedCheckbox({
  message: 'Configure your development workflow:',
  choices: [
    {
      name: 'Set up CI/CD pipeline',
      value: 'cicd',
      description: 'Automated testing and deployment'
    },
    {
      name: 'Code quality tools',
      value: 'quality',
      description: 'Linting, formatting, and analysis'
    },
    {
      name: 'Documentation',
      value: 'docs',

    },
    {
      name: 'Performance monitoring',
      value: 'monitoring',
      description: 'Track app performance and errors'
    },
    {
      name: 'Legacy system',
      value: 'legacy',
      disabled: true // Cannot be selected
    }
  ],
  default: ['quality', 'docs'], // Pre-select in this order
  validate: (choices) => {
    if (choices.length === 0) {
      return 'Please select at least one option.';
    }
    if (choices.length > 3) {

    }
    return true;
  }
});

import orderedCheckbox, { Separator } from '@kyou-izumi/inquirer-ordered-checkbox';

const answer = await orderedCheckbox({
  message: 'Choose your tech stack:',
  choices: [
    'Frontend Frameworks',
    new Separator(),
    'React',
    'Vue.js',
    'Angular',
    new Separator(),
    'Backend Technologies', 
    new Separator(),
    'Node.js',
    'Python',
    'Go'
  ]
});

interface Choice<T = any> {
  name?: string;        // Display name (defaults to value)
  value: T;            // The actual value returned
  description?: string; // Help text shown on selection
  short?: string;      // Abbreviated name for final answer
  disabled?: boolean;  // Cannot be selected
}

type ValidateFunction<T> = (
  choices: T[]
) => boolean | string | Promise<boolean | string>;

Return true for valid input, or a string error message for invalid input.

Customize the appearance with a theme object:

const customTheme = {
  icon: {
    cursor: '❯',
  },
  style: {
    disabledChoice: (text) => `🚫 ${text}`,
    description: (text) => `💡 ${text}`,
    selectedOrder: (text) => `🔥 ${text}`,
    unselectedOrder: (text) => `⭕ ${text}`,
    renderSelectedChoices: (choices) => 
      choices.map(c => `✨ ${c.name}`).join(', ')
  }
};

const answer = await orderedCheckbox({
  message: 'Select items:',
  choices: ['Option 1', 'Option 2', 'Option 3'],
  theme: customTheme
});

This package includes full TypeScript definitions:

import orderedCheckbox, { 
  CheckboxSortConfig, 
  NormalizedChoice,
  CheckboxSortTheme 
} from '@kyou-izumi/inquirer-ordered-checkbox';

interface MyValue {
  id: string;
