[Bug]: Task sort order no longer respected across swimlanes

[tsweezy]

Bug Description

Previously, the order of swimlanes was controlled by the global Bases sort order. I used this in combination with the daysUntilDue formula to bring upcoming tasks to the top of the board no matter the project. As in, the most near upcoming task would bring its entire project swimlane to the top of the board.

Some time recently, this behavior changed. The order of the swimlanes now remains static no matter the Bases sort order, as seen below:

Sorting without swimlanes:

Sorting with swimlanes:

Here I would expect the project b swimlane be brought to the top of the board based on the sorting logic and task 2's due date .

The above screenshots were created on a fresh vault for the purpose of this issue.

I understand that there were changes to allow a custom swimlane order via JSON, but I can't determine for myself whether this enables sorting behavior in the same way. If so, an update to the site documentation and an example here would be greatly appreciated.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Create Kanban view with sorting on daysUntilDue
   • See that the tasks are sorted accordingly
2. Add projects to the Swim Lane section of the view configuration
3. See that swim lane order does not change when due dates on tasks are altered. Only sorting within each swimlane is affected.
