kikoleitao 21dbd6441a feat: implement row re-ordering via drag and drop (#4846) (#5580)
# Context

Currently, the Twenty platform incorporates "positions" for rows on the
backend, which are functional within the Kanban view. However, this
advantageous feature has yet to be leveraged within list views.

# Feature Proposal

## Implement Row-Reordering via Drag-and-Drop on Frontend (#4846)

- This PR addresses the implementation of row reordering via
Drag-and-Drop on frontend. The objective is to enrich the list view
functionality by introducing a grip that dynamically appears upon
hovering over the left space preceding the checkbox container. This grip
empowers users to effortlessly reposition rows within the list.

#### Proposal Highlights:

- **Enhanced User Interaction**: Introduce a draggable grip to
facilitate intuitive row reordering, enhancing user experience and
productivity.
- **Preservation of Design Aesthetics**: By excluding the grip from the
first row and maintaining the left gap, we uphold design integrity while
providing enhanced functionality.
- **Consistency with Existing Features**: Align with existing
drag-and-drop functionalities within the platform, such as Favorites
re-ordering or Fields re-ordering in table options, ensuring a seamless
user experience.

## Implementation Strategy

### Grip Implementation:

- Add an extra column to the table (header + body) to accommodate the
grip cell, which displays the IconListViewGrip when its container is
hovered over.
- Ensure the preceding left-space is maintained by setting the
corresponding width for this column and removing padding from the table
container (while maintaining padding in other page elements and the
Kanban view for coherence).

### Row Drag and Drop:

- Implement row drag-and-drop functionality using draggableList and
draggableItem, based on the existing logic in the KanbanView for row
repositioning.
- Create a draggableTableBody and apply it to the current
RecordTableBody (including modal open triggering - if dragging while
sorting exists).
- Apply the draggableItem logic to RecordTableRow.

### Sorting Modal Implementation:

- Reuse the ConfirmationModel for the removeSortingModal.
- Create a new state to address the modal.
- Implement sorting removal logic in the corresponding modal file.

## Outcome

- The left-side margin is preserved.
- The grip appears upon hovering.
- Dragging a row gives it and maintains an aesthetic appearance.
- Dropping a row updates its position, and the table gets a new
configuration.
- If sorting is present, dropping a row activates a modal. Clicking on
the "Remove Sorting" button will deactivate any sorting (clicking on
"Cancel" will close the modal), and the table will revert to its default
configuration by position, allowing manual row reordering. Row
repositioning will not occur if sorting is not removed.
- The record table maintains its overall consistency.
- There are no conflicts with DragSelect functionality.
