e16977f97b [breaking: deploy server before front] feat(view-sort): pick sort sub-field inline on the chip (#20445)
## Summary

Lets users choose which sub-field of a composite column to sort by —
directly from the sort chip — by clicking the sub-field label and
picking from a dropdown. Persists per view via a new nullable
\`subFieldName\` column on \`ViewSort\`.

Replaces #20438, which proposed a field-settings (admin) configuration
for the same problem. The chip-level approach is more discoverable (the
option lives where the user is looking) and per-view, so different views
on the same object can sort by different sub-fields.

### What changes for users

- **FullName columns**: previously sorted by \`firstName\` and
\`lastName\` together as a stable dual-key sort. Now the user can pick
which sub-field is primary (the other is the tie-breaker). Default
remains \`firstName\` primary, \`lastName\` tie-breaker.
- **Address columns**: previously not sortable at all (not in
\`SORTABLE_FIELD_METADATA_TYPES\`). Now sortable, with a chip dropdown
listing each enabled sub-field. Default is \`addressCity\` if enabled,
else the first enabled sub-field. Disabling a sub-field at the
field-metadata level (existing setting) removes it from the dropdown.
- **Other composite types** (Currency, Phones, Emails, Links, Actor) and
scalar fields keep their existing single-key sort behavior.

### UX

```
┌─────────────────────────┐    ┌─────────────────────────┐
│ ↑ Name · Last name  ✕ │    │ ↑ Address · City  ✕ │
└────────┬────────────────┘    └────────┬────────────────┘
         ▼ (click sub-field)            ▼
   ┌────────────┐                ┌────────────┐
   │ First name │                │ Address 1  │
   │ Last name ✓│                │ Address 2  │
   └────────────┘                │ City      ✓│
                                 │ State      │
                                 │ Postcode   │
                                 │ Country    │
                                 └────────────┘
```

The chip body still toggles direction on click — the \`Dropdown\`'s
internal wrapper calls \`stopPropagation\` so the sub-field click
doesn't bubble to the chip's onClick.

## What changed

**Backend:**
- \`ViewSortEntity\` — new nullable \`subFieldName: varchar\` column
- \`ViewSortDTO\`, \`CreateViewSortInput\`,
\`UpdateViewSortInputUpdates\` — new \`@Field(() => String, { nullable:
true })\`
- \`FLAT_VIEW_SORT_EDITABLE_PROPERTIES\` — \`'subFieldName'\` added so
the property flows through the update merge path
- \`ALL_ENTITY_PROPERTIES_CONFIGURATION_BY_METADATA_NAME.viewSort\` —
new \`subFieldName\` entry with \`toCompare: true\` so cache diffs
notice it
- \`fromCreateViewSortInputToFlatViewSortToCreate\` — threads
\`subFieldName\` through
- Instance command migration (\`add-sub-field-name-to-view-sort\`) —
single \`ALTER TABLE core.viewSort ADD subFieldName varchar\` / \`DROP\`

**Frontend:**
- \`RecordSort\` and \`ViewSort\` types — \`subFieldName?: string |
null\`
- \`VIEW_SORT_FRAGMENT\` — adds \`subFieldName\` so the field
round-trips
- \`mapRecordSortToViewSort\` + \`areViewSortsEqual\` — carry the new
field through, include it in the diff so the usual
\`useSaveRecordSortsToViewSorts\` create/update flow fires when it
changes
- \`useSaveRecordSortsToViewSorts\` — passes \`subFieldName\` in both
\`CreateViewSortInput\` and \`UpdateViewSortInputUpdates\`
- \`getOrderByForFieldMetadataType(field, direction, subFieldName?)\` —
new optional third arg. \`turnSortsIntoOrderBy\` threads
\`sort.subFieldName\` into it.
- \`Address\` added to \`SORTABLE_FIELD_METADATA_TYPES\`
- New helpers: \`getEnabledAddressSubFields\` (filters by the field's
\`subFields\` setting, falls back to the 6 default visible address
sub-fields), \`getDefaultSortSubFieldForAddress\`,
\`getDefaultSortSubFieldForFullName\`
- New shared types/constants: \`AllowedFullNameSubField\`,
\`ALLOWED_FULL_NAME_SUBFIELDS\`, \`DEFAULT_VISIBLE_ADDRESS_SUBFIELDS\`
- \`SortOrFilterChip\` — new \`labelSubField?: ReactNode\` slot; renders
as \` · {sub-field}\` with subdued weight after the main label
- \`EditableSortChip\` — builds options from field metadata
(\`ALLOWED_FULL_NAME_SUBFIELDS\` for FullName,
\`getEnabledAddressSubFields\` for Address), uses i18n-wrapped labels,
persists picks via \`upsertRecordSort\`

## Test plan

- [x] \`npx nx typecheck\` passes for twenty-shared, twenty-front,
twenty-server
- [x] \`oxlint --type-aware\` on all 19 frontend + 9 server changed
files: 0 errors
- [x] \`prettier --check\`: clean
- [x] 16 unit tests pass — \`getOrderByForFieldMetadataType\` covers the
new \`subFieldName\` override branch for FULL_NAME and ADDRESS;
\`getDefaultSortSubFieldForAddress\` covers the city/first-enabled
fallback path; \`getDefaultSortSubFieldForFullName\` exercises its
constant
- [ ] Manual: sort a People view by Full Name → click the chip's
sub-field label → switch between First name and Last name → reload page
→ choice is preserved
- [ ] Manual: sort a Company view by Address → confirm dropdown lists
only enabled sub-fields → disable Address \`addressCity\` in field
settings → confirm dropdown options update and runtime falls back to the
first enabled sub-field
