Swiftly Swift manipulation... with Swift

" summary

Builds a small command‑line tool that parses Swift source with SwiftSyntax, collects method declarations via a visitor, sorts them by access level and kind, and uses a rewriter to replace nodes so function bodies and spacing remain intact. Optionally queries the project IndexStoreDB to find the class file instead of requiring a path. Claims full source round‑trip so trivia preserved (comments/whitespace survive). Publishes source on GitHub and lists limitations and homework for sorting properties and extensions.
