Allow reordering forum topics

[RussellDash332]

Upon duplicating a course, the order of the forum topics might be shuffled, however one cannot simply reorder it by dragging and instead has to do delete/add/edit.

Left: duplicated course
Right: original course

Hi, I'm interested in contributing to this issue, so I took a look at the code and found that the forum display uses ForumTopicTable, which uses the MUIDataTable component:

coursemology2/client/app/bundles/course/forum/pages/ForumShow/index.tsx

Line 136 in 3f343b1

<ForumTopicTable forum={forum} forumTopics={forumTopics} />

coursemology2/client/app/lib/components/core/layouts/DataTable.jsx

Lines 136 to 141 in 3f343b1

	<MUIDataTable
	{...props}
	columns={processColumns(props.includeRowNumber, props.columns)}
	elevation={1}
	options={{ ...options, ...(props.options ?? {}) }}
	/>

Unfortunately, MUIDataTable only supports draggableColumns, and not draggable rows. It doesn't look like there's a way to implement dragging of the topics to shuffle without rewriting this component.

Any advice?
