This PR introduces backend modifications necessary for addressing the final task (favorites list reordering feature) outlined in #53.
Modification of the existing favorites list field in the user schema to capture additional details about the added movie, such as the movie title and the date added.
Alteration of the server routes to align with the updated field and the inclusion of a route that allows sorting of the list based on ratings (from highest to lowest) and the date added (most recent first).
Note: Current user accounts that utilize the former structure for the favorites list may not function as expected. The favorites lists from these accounts might require direct updation through MongoDB database. Also the existing front-end might require adjustments so tasks dependent on the favorites list might be delayed until #53 is fully closed.
This PR contributes to resolving #53.
Next steps include the associated front-end modifications to integrate this feature and the adjustments of the current favorites list front-end to ensure compatibility.

This is as expected.
Making a request to get all the favourites with the rating option :
This also works as expected.
