table in a join
 The optimizer removes redundant columns in ORDER BY. It is considering 
redundant every reference to const table column, e.g b in :
create table t1 (a int, b int, primary key(a)); 
select 1 from t1 order by b where a = 1

But it must not remove references to const table columns if the 
const table is an outer table because there still can be 2 values :
the const value and NULL. e.g.:
create table t1 (a int, b int, primary key(a));
select t2.b c from t1 left join t1 t2 on (t1.a = t2.a and t2.a = 5) 
  order by c;
