When the sentence starts with 'no sooner' we use then?

Does not follow well with 'than', but seems correct with 'then'.

Should be "then" Because than signifies comparison.

The sentence existed with conjunction. Those rules we have to follow.
1. No sooner followed by than.
2. Scarcely followed by when.
3. Hardly followed by when.
1. No sooner followed by than.

Why we use did before I?
Mostly we are using did do before the subject in question.
Then what about No sooner I did opened? Please clear me.

These are some idioms of English.
Eg if you are using "not only" in a sentence then there must be "but also" in that sentence.
Same way "no sooner", "than" etc etc.

Why we used "than" while we know than is used only for comparison. In this sentence, there is no comparison.
If we use "Then" then it would be better because it is used for whats comes next. Like As sooner did I open the door then the rain the heavy and stormy rushed in?
