Reordering join field items using join table.

[palak-convivity]

It's an amazing experience using payload CMS.
however, I have a suggestion for join field. is it possible to added reordering join field items?

I have seen default order option in join field but for that I need to set order using custom component.
is it possible to arrange join field items using join table?
It would be easy to arrange data if we can add something like a drag-and-drop (DnD) feature to rearrange the order of items or sort items with in the join table.

Hey @palak-convivity,

This has been asked for and should be a part of our roadmap.

By default I think it should not do this, but be a flag you can enable for the join field. enableOrder or similar, then an additional hidden field needs to be added to the join collection to store the order when join ordering is enabled. To ensure uniqueness the hidden field name will need to be collection-fieldName-order where collection is the one containing the join field, fieldName which is the name of the join prefixed with any possible parent fields (group/tab name).

The hidden field should also have index: true for performance.

We would welcome any PRs for this feature but will try and prioritize it as we are able otherwise.
