Valeriy Proklov 011afa6011 Allow kanban cross-column drag when sorting is enabled (#21025)
## Summary

This PR allows kanban cards to be dragged across columns while sorting
is enabled.

Previously, any board drag while a sort was active opened the “Remove
sorting?” modal. That makes sense for same-column reordering, because
manual reorder conflicts with the active sort. But for cross-column
moves, the user is changing the grouped field, not trying to manually
reorder the destination column.

With this change:

- Same-column drag with sorting enabled still opens the existing
remove-sorting modal.
- Cross-column drag with sorting enabled updates only the group field.
- The destination column keeps using the active sort to determine where
the card appears.
- Unsorted board drag behavior continues to update `position` as before.

## Why

On sorted kanban boards, moving a card to another column is a valid
workflow even though manual reordering is not. The previous guard
blocked both cases because it only checked whether sorting was active,
not whether the card stayed inside the same column.

## Implementation

The drop behavior now distinguishes between:

- sorted same-column drops, which remain blocked
- sorted cross-column drops, which are allowed without a position update
- unsorted drops, which keep the existing position-update behavior

A small helper captures that decision and has focused unit coverage.

## Validation

- Manually verified sorted cross-column drag persists after refresh.
- Manually verified sorted same-column drag still opens the
remove-sorting modal.
- Manually verified unsorted same-column drag still reorders cards.
- Manually verified unsorted cross-column drag still moves cards.
- Ran focused Jest coverage for the sorted board drop decision.
- Ran formatting and oxlint checks on touched frontend files.
- Ran `twenty-front` typecheck.
- Ran `twenty-front` production build.
