+                        The two groups in which the imports fall by default
+                        are:
 
                           1. Scala and Java core
-                          2. Third party libraries
-                          3. First party code (ie. your own)
-
-                        Java and Scala core imports are identified by the
-                        java(x) and scala namespaces.
-                        Everything else that isn't a first party namespace
-                        will be a third party import.
-                        You can define a regex that matches first party
-                        namespaces by setting
-
-                          g:scala_first_party_namespaces
-
-                        For example in a standard Play app this would be
-                        set to
-                          g:scala_first_party_namespaces=

+                          2. All others
+
+                        By default, Java and Scala imports are identified by
+                        the java(x) and scala namespaces.
+
+                        You can modify this behavior and provide your own
+                        import groups by setting
+
+                          g:scala_import_sort_groups.
+
+                        Any imports not caught in the patterns will be put at
+                        the end of the imports list, in their own group.
+
+                        For example, a standard Play app would have the
+                        following sort groups:
+
+                          g:scala_import_sort_groups = [
+                            \ '\(java\(x\)\?\|scala\)\.',
+                            \ '\(controllers\|views\|models\)'
+                            \]
+
+                        If you were to want packages that are specific to your
+                        project to be placed at the end of the imports list,
+                        you can get this behavior using a negative lookahead.
+                        Building on  the example above, that would look like
+
+                          g:scala_import_sort_groups = [
+                            \ '\(java\(x\)\?\|scala\)\.',
+                            \ '\(controllers\|views\|models\)',
+                            \ '\(com.my.project\)\@!'
+                            \]
