Description

Steps to reproduce the behavior

  1. Try to have a particular sorting, not manual sorting
  2. Try to drag and move the table rows
  3. They are unresponsive, nothing happens

Expected behavior

We should add a dialog to remove the sorting, and convert it to a manual sorting if a user drags something and drops it

Research direction
Investigate the table view component in Focalboard, specifically the sorting logic and drag and drop implementation. Examine existing dialog components for patterns. The expected behavior is to show a confirmation dialog when a user drags a sorted row, allowing them to remove sorting and switch to manual sorting. Look at the board view and row interaction code to understand where to intervene.
