Describe the issue you're experiencing

I'm building a menu which users can sort items in. I used wire:sort which works great. But when also adding wire:navigate to the links, the sorting breaks.

A workaround is to add custom drag handles inside the menu items, but I rather don't have that since it attracts attention away from daily usage (which is following the links, not sorting them).

Code snippets to reproduce the issue

<ul wire:sort="save">
    <li><a href="/x" wire:navigate wire:sort:item="1">One</a></li>
    <li><a href="/y" wire:navigate wire:sort:item="2">Two</a></li>
</ul>

Screenshots/screen recordings

Not much to show. The drag cursor doesn't even show.

How do you expect it to work?

Whether I add wire:navigate shouldn't change the working of wire:sort.`
