rule: Collection custom ordering uses per-row Move up/Move down buttons (not drag) and is offered for any manual collection with custom order enabled, not just movies-only.

Blazor reordered collection items with SortableJS drag-and-drop and only enabled custom ordering
for movies-only collections. The SPA (`CollectionsScreen.tsx`) uses per-row **Move up / Move
down** buttons in an explicit reorder mode instead of drag (no new drag dependency; the mode loads
ALL items first because `PUT /api/collections/{id}/custom-order` replaces the whole order from
array position — submitting a partial page would scramble the rest), and does **not** replicate
the movies-only gate: the API and the playback-side `CustomOrderCollectionEnumerator` sort by
`CustomIndex` regardless of item kind, so the SPA offers reorder for any manual collection with
custom order enabled. Issue #211.
