    Bug #21456: SELECT DISTINCT(x) produces incorrect results when using order by · 2baf2fdf

    GROUP BY/DISTINCT pruning optimization must be done before ORDER BY 
    optimization because ORDER BY may be removed when GROUP BY/DISTINCT
    sorts as a side effect, e.g. in 
      SELECT DISTINCT <non-key-col>,<pk> FROM t1
      ORDER BY <non-key-col> DISTINCT
    must be removed before ORDER BY as if done the other way around
    it will remove both.
