How to configure organizing of Java imports in Netbeans

Question

Currently Netbeans (I'm using version 7.3.1) has an in-built ability to organize imports in Java files via menu Source » Organize Imports. But I need to change the default order of imports. (For example, when working in a shared environment, software developers must use the same import settings.)

Is there any way to do so?
