Description

When changing the sort order of either the scripts or dependencies list, it would be nice if the list items animated into place, rather than immediately changing position.

Maybe we could use react-flip-move? Investigation into other libraries/solutions welcome though!

Research direction
Investigate react flip move or similar libraries (e.g., Framer Motion) for animating list reordering. Examine the current list components (likely ScriptList and DependencyList) to understand the sorting logic and DOM structure. Prototype using react flip move's FLIP animation approach to smoothly animate items to new positions when sort order changes.
