  /**
   * Overrides SelectQuery::orderBy().
   *
   * PostgreSQL adheres strictly to the SQL-92 standard and requires that when
   * using DISTINCT or GROUP BY conditions, fields and expressions that are
   * ordered on also need to be selected. This is a best effort implementation
   * to handle the cases that can be automated by adding the field if it is not
   * yet selected.
   *
   * @code
   *   $query = db_select('node', 'n');
   *   $query->join('node_revision', 'nr', 'n.vid = nr.vid');
   *   $query
   *     ->distinct()
   *     ->fields('n')
   *     ->orderBy('timestamp');
   * @endcode
   *
   * In this query, it is not possible (without relying on the schema) to know
   * whether timestamp belongs to node_revisions and needs to be added or
   * belongs to node and is already selected. Queries like this will need to be
   * corrected in the original query by adding an explicit call to
   * SelectQuery::addField() or SelectQuery::fields().
   *
   * Since this has a small performance impact, both by the additional
   * processing in this function and in the database that needs to return the
   * additional fields, this is done as an override instead of implementing it
   * directly in SelectQuery::orderBy().
