Fix for bug #32202: ORDER BY not working with GROUP BY
The bug is a regression introduced by the fix for bug30596. The problem was that in cases when groups in GROUP BY correspond to only one row, and there is ORDER BY, the GROUP BY was removed and the ORDER BY rewritten to ORDER BY <group_by_columns> without checking if the columns in GROUP BY and ORDER BY are compatible. This led to incorrect ordering of the result set as it was sorted using the GROUP BY columns. Additionaly, the code discarded ASC/DESC modifiers from ORDER BY even if its columns were compatible with the GROUP BY ones. This patch fixes the regression by checking if ORDER BY columns form a prefix of the GROUP BY ones, and rewriting ORDER BY only in that case, preserving the ASC/DESC modifiers. That check is sufficient, since the GROUP BY columns contain a unique index. mysql-test/r/group_by.result: Added a test case for bug #32202. mysql-test/t/group_by.test: Added a test case for bug #32202. sql/sql_select.cc: In cases when groups in GROUP BY correspond to only one row and there is ORDER BY, rewrite the query to ORDER BY <group_by_columns> only if the columns in ORDER BY and GROUP BY are compatible, i.e. either one forms a prefix for another.
