## Summary
This PR enables sorting records by fields of related objects. For
example, sorting **People by their Company's name**.
### Before
Only scalar and composite fields could be sorted. Relation fields showed
in the sort dropdown but produced errors.
### After
Many-to-One relation fields can now be sorted using the related object's
**label identifier field** (e.g., Company's `name`).
---
## Changes
### Frontend
- Added `RELATION` to sortable field types (restricted to `MANY_TO_ONE`
relations)
- New `getOrderByForRelationField()` generates nested orderBy structures
using the related object's label identifier
- Updated `turnSortsIntoOrderBy()` to handle relation fields by looking
up related object metadata
### Backend
- Extended `GraphqlQueryOrderFieldParser.parse()` to detect nested
relation ordering like `{ company: { name: 'AscNullsLast' } }`
- Returns `ParseOrderByResult` containing both `orderBy` conditions and
`relationJoins` info
- Added LEFT JOINs for relation ordering in `applyOrderToBuilder()`
- Added `addRelationOrderColumnsToBuilder()` for TypeORM DISTINCT
compatibility
### Tests
- Added unit tests for `filterSortableFieldMetadataItems`,
`getOrderByForRelationField`, and `turnSortsIntoOrderBy`
- Added integration tests covering ascending/descending order and
composite label identifiers

## TypeORM Bug Workaround
We encountered a significant TypeORM limitation when implementing this
feature. When using `getMany()` with `ORDER BY` on joined relation
columns, TypeORM generates a DISTINCT subquery that has specific
requirements:
### Issue 1: Alias Parsing
TypeORM's `orderBy()` method fails with **"alias not found"** when using
quoted SQL identifiers like `"company"."name"`. TypeORM internally
expects unquoted property paths (e.g., `company.name`) for its alias
resolution mechanism.
### Issue 2: setFindOptions Clears addSelect
`setFindOptions({ select })` **clears any previously added `addSelect()`
columns**. This caused `"column distinctAlias.company_name does not
exist"` errors because the relation columns needed for ORDER BY were
being removed.
### Solution
We split the logic into two methods:
1. `applyOrderToBuilder()` - adds JOINs and ORDER BY (before
`setFindOptions`)
2. `addRelationOrderColumnsToBuilder()` - adds relation columns for
SELECT (AFTER `setFindOptions`)
This ensures the relation columns are present in the final SQL query's
SELECT clause with the proper underscore aliases (`company_name`) that
TypeORM's DISTINCT subquery expects.

## Summary
This PR enforces the use of `@/` alias for imports instead of relative
parent imports (`../`).
## Changes
### ESLint Configuration
- Added `no-restricted-imports` pattern in `eslint.config.react.mjs` to
block `../*` imports with the message "Relative parent imports are not
allowed. Use @/ alias instead."
- Removed the non-working `import/no-relative-parent-imports` rule
(doesn't work properly in ESLint flat config)
### VS Code Settings
- Added `javascript.preferences.importModuleSpecifier: non-relative` to
`.vscode/settings.json` (TypeScript setting was already there)
### Code Fixes
- Fixed **941 relative parent imports** across **706 files** in
`packages/twenty-front`
- All `../` imports converted to use `@/` alias
## Why
- Consistent import style across the codebase
- Easier to move files without breaking imports
- Better IDE support for auto-imports
- Clearer understanding of where imports come from
This PR removes any V2 naming in state management logic and some minor
utils and hooks.
It has a lot of changes but nearly all of them were made by the rename
functionality of vscode which is deterministic, so it shouldn't
introduce any regression.
QA has been made on this PR on the main features of the app without any
noticeable issue.
Also renamed some other v2 naming related items :
- TextInputV2 => TextInput
- TextInput => SettingsTextInput
- ObjectFilterDropdownFilterSelectMenuItemV2 =>
ObjectFilterDropdownFilterSelectMenuItem
- useInitDraftValueV2 => useInitDraftValue
- useOpenRecordTableCellV2 => useOpenRecordTableCell
Fixes#7929
This PR implements a system to capture and preserve the filters and
sorts when navigating from an index view to a record show page. This
information is stored in a context store component state.
This allows users to navigate between records inside the record page
while maintaining context from the index view.
