Description
**Is your feature request related to a problem or challenge? Please describe what you are trying to do.**
I want to be able to sort every valid array
**Describe the solution you'd like**
calling `arrow-ord::sort::sort` on any type should just work
**Describe alternatives you've considered**
Not using the sort kernel
------
This requires couple of changes
- [ ] Sorting list of booleans - #6912
- [ ] Sorting list of non nested data type
- [ ] Sorting nested lists of any depth - this will not be optimized but will just provide support
Contributor guide
Research direction
Start at the arrow-ord::sort::sort entry point and review the linked boolean-sorting issue, #6912, alongside the remaining checklist items. Define support coverage for non-nested types and nested lists of any depth, then verify that calling sort works for every valid array type described by the issue.
