10.1 Solution sequences and result forms
It says that projection is always performed before ordering.
This means that it is not possible to obtain a sequence of results
that is ordered by some variable that is projected away.  It would
be preferable to perform ordering before projecting.  My prefered
order of modifiers would be: ORDER BY, project, DISTINCT, LIMIT, OFFSET.
