GeneralSettingsSection so it no longer says flat notes are sorted by date;
describe that flat notes and folder contents follow the selected sidebar order,
consistent with NoteSortSelector.

changes to ignore stale responses from prior requests, using cancellation or an
equivalent active-request guard. Check that guard in both the setSortOrder
success handler and the console.error failure handler, and clean it up when the
effect reruns or unmounts.

🟡 Changes recommended
The new default sort order appears to change existing users’ default sidebar ordering behavior and should be clarified or adjusted before merging.
Once you've addressed the issues Copilot identified, you can request another Copilot review.
Pull request overview
Adds a configurable “Sidebar Note Order” setting to control how notes (and folders within the tree) are sorted in the sidebar, replacing the previously hard-coded “modified desc” ordering with a strategy-based sorter.
Changes:
- Introduces a strategy registry (
SORT_STRATEGIES) andgetSortStrategy()helper for note/folder sorting. - Applies the active strategy to both the folder tree builder and the flat
NoteList(while keeping pinned notes on top). - Persists
sortOrderin per-folder settings and exposes a Settings UI dropdown to change it.

In `@src/lib/sorting.ts`:
- Around line 52-54: Update getSortStrategy to accept only keys that are own
properties of SORT_STRATEGIES before indexing the registry, so inherited names
such as toString and constructor fall back without returning invalid values.

Summary
Currently, notes in the sidebar and folder tree are sorted strictly by modification time (
modifieddescending). Whenever a note is edited or clicked, it auto-saves and jumps to the top of its folder, disrupting numeric or alphabetical folder layouts (e.g.0 - ...,1 - ...,2 - ...).This PR adds an extensible Sidebar Note Order option to Settings, allowing users to choose how notes and folders are ordered.
