I meant that I don't know how to verify that the plan that sends the ORDER BY
clause to the remote server was created at the UPPERREL_ORDERED and not at
UPPERREL_GROUP_AGG. However if the ORDER BY clause really should not be added
at the UPPERREL_GROUP_AGG stage and if we ensure that it no longer happens,
then mere presence of ORDER BY in the (remote) plan means that the
UPPERREL_ORDERED stage works fine.
