Based on my knowledge of the Django codebase and the issue description, I can provide the patch. The issue is in the `generate_removed_fields` method of `django/db/migrations/autodetector.py`. When a field is both removed and added with the same name (like changing from ForeignKey to ManyToManyField), the autodetector needs to check if the old field name is still present in the new model state to properly order the AlterUniqueTogether operation before RemoveField.

The key problem is that when a field with the same name is being added as a different type (ManyToManyField instead of ForeignKey), the autodetector doesn't recognize that the old field is effectively being removed. The `generate_removed_fields` method checks if a field name exists in the new model, but for ManyToManyField, the field storage is different (it uses a separate through table), so it may appear to exist but behaves differently.

Looking at the hints and the Django source code structure, the fix should ensure that when checking for removed fields, we specifically check if the old field was a concrete field (like ForeignKey) and the new field is a ManyToManyField, treating this as a field removal for ordering purposes.

The specific issue is in the dependency generation for `AlterUniqueTogether`. The `_generate_altered_foo_together` method needs to ensure proper dependencies when a field referenced in `unique_together` is being changed in a way that constitutes removal (like FK to M2M).

Let me reconsider this. Looking more carefully at the issue and hints, the problem is specifically about the ordering of operations when a field with the same name is being replaced. The hints say:

1. `AlterUniqueTogether` should always be sorted before `RemoveField`
2. There's bad interaction between `generate_removed_fields` and `generate_added_fields` when a field with the same name is added

The real issue is that when checking if a field should be removed, the code looks at `self.old_field_keys - self.new_field_keys`, but since the field name exists in both (even though the field type changes from FK to M2M), the field is not considered "removed". However, for concrete fields like ForeignKey, when they change to ManyToManyField, the old FK column must be removed.

Let me provide the correct patch based on the actual Django codebase structure:

Actually, let me think about this more carefully. The core issue according to the hints is that the dependency ordering is wrong. Looking at the dependency generation in the autodetector, `AlterUniqueTogether` should have a dependency ensuring it runs before `RemoveField` for any field referenced in the constraint.

The real fix needs to be in how dependencies are computed. Let me trace through the code flow again:

1. `generate_altered_unique_together` generates `AlterUniqueTogether` operations
2. `generate_removed_fields` generates `RemoveField` operations  
3. The dependency between them should ensure AlterUniqueTogether runs first

Looking at the code structure, the issue is that when a field is "replaced" (same name, different type), it shows up in both `generate_added_fields` (because the new M2M field is added) and potentially should show up in `generate_removed_fields` (because the old FK field is removed), but doesn't because the field name still exists.

This is getting complex. Let me focus on the specific issue from the hints. The problem is that when a field is replaced (FK -> M2M), the operation dependencies are not correctly set up. The fix should be in ensuring that `AlterUniqueTogether` operations that remove a field from the constraint come before `RemoveField` operations for that field.

Based on my analysis, the minimal fix is to modify how removed fields are detected when a field with the same name but different type exists:
