When using quarto dashboard, browser console error that jQuery is not defined - load order?

[eamcvey]

Bug description

Quarto dashboards include datatables.min.js which appears to require jQuery, and causes an error in the browser console about jQuery not being defined. I believe this is because jQuery needs to be loaded first and is not. I can add a script to load jQuery using include-in-header but it loads jQuery after datatables.min.js, and hence does not eliminate the error. Manually editing the html to change the order does eliminate it.

Steps to reproduce

---
title: "test"
format: dashboard

## Hello

When I render this simplest of dashboards and use dev tools in the browser to look at the console, I see the error jQuery is not defined.

Expected behavior

The html generated should not throw errors in the browser.

Actual behavior

There's a jQuery is not defined error in the browser console due to jQuery not being loaded before datatables.min.js
