Description

In the partial dependence plot view, there is a sort by variation button to sort features by how much their partial dependence plots vary (total Y axis distance traveled across the chart). Also, if comparing two models, each feature is ranked by its largest Y axis distance traveled across the two models' PD plots for that feature.

This information should be displayed in a information popup next to the sort button, like we have with other non-obvious buttons/controls.

Research direction
The issue requests adding an information popup next to the 'sort by variation' button in the partial dependence plot view. Examine existing popups in the codebase (e.g., in the same view or similar controls) to determine the HTML structure and event handling pattern. The popup should explain that the button sorts features by total Y axis distance traveled, and when comparing two models, by the maximum distance across both models. No linked PRs or comments exist.
