Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
It isn't possible to change the order of funders or edit details once these have been inputted on the Archive page. Any edits requires completely deleting the information and starting again. Ordering might be needed due to the importance of the funder to the project.

Describe the solution you'd like
Enable funders to be edited and reordered as with other functionality available on the site.

Describe alternatives you've considered
To add new funders in the correct order I've had to delete them all and start again. To edit details of funded projects - eg. new grant numbers - I've had to delete and start again.

Research direction

Start by locating the Archive page's funder management flow and compare it with other site functionality that already supports editing or ordering. Done means funders can be edited and reordered without deleting and re-entering them, while updated project details and funder order are retained.
