    Description

      ORDER BY optimizer doesn't recognize that NL-join produces the required ordering. Originally reported here:https://www.facebook.com/MySQLatFacebook/posts/10153059170661696 ,

      create table a1 (a int, b int, primary key (a,b));
      create table a2 (a int, b int, primary key (a,b));
      insert into a1 values (1,2),(1,3),(1,4),(2,4),(2,5),(2,6);
      insert into a2 values (2,1),(2,2),(4,1),(4,2),(6,1),(6,2);

      Plan without ORDER BY:

      MariaDB [j2]> explain select * from a1 join a2 on a1.b=a2.a;                                                                      
      +------+-------------+-------+-------+---------------+---------+---------+---------+------+-------------+                         
      | id   | select_type | table | type  | possible_keys | key     | key_len | ref     | rows | Extra       |                         
      +------+-------------+-------+-------+---------------+---------+---------+---------+------+-------------+                         
      |    1 | SIMPLE      | a1    | index | NULL          | PRIMARY | 8       | NULL    |    6 | Using index |                         
      |    1 | SIMPLE      | a2    | ref   | PRIMARY       | PRIMARY | 4       | j2.a1.b |    1 | Using index |                         
      +------+-------------+-------+-------+---------------+---------+---------+---------+------+-------------+

      MariaDB [j2]> explain select * from a1 join a2 on a1.b=a2.a order by a1.a, a1.b, a2.a, a2.b;
      +------+-------------+-------+-------+---------------+---------+---------+---------+------+----------------------------------------------+
      | id   | select_type | table | type  | possible_keys | key     | key_len | ref     | rows | Extra                                        |
      +------+-------------+-------+-------+---------------+---------+---------+---------+------+----------------------------------------------+
      |    1 | SIMPLE      | a1    | index | NULL          | PRIMARY | 8       | NULL    |    6 | Using index; Using temporary; Using filesort |
      |    1 | SIMPLE      | a2    | ref   | PRIMARY       | PRIMARY | 4       | j2.a1.b |    1 | Using index                                  |
      +------+-------------+-------+-------+---------------+---------+---------+---------+------+----------------------------------------------+

      a1 table uses 'index', so rows are ordered by a1.a, a1.b. Then, ref access returns rows in the order of a2.a, a2.b. (a2.a is also equal to constant).

      However, test_if_skip_sort_order only looks at one table when determining whether to do sorting.
