Hello Friends,
I encountered a behavior that confused me when using window function
and group aggregate at the same time.

simple table:
CREATE TABLE t (a int, b int);

add some data to represent the behavior:
insert into t values
    (1, 39),
    (1, 95),
    (2, 48),
    (3, 87),
    (4, 19),
    (4, 78),
    (4, 53);

When I execute:

-- query #1
select
    a,
    row_number() over (partition by a order by a)
from t
group by a;

| a   | row_number |
| --- | ---------- |
| 1   | 1          |
| 2   | 1          |
| 3   | 1          |
| 4   | 1          |

everything works as usual, but if I add desc sorting in over window:

-- query #2
select
    a,
    row_number() over (partition by a order by a desc)
from t
group by a;

| a   | row_number |
| --- | ---------- |
| 4   | 1          |
| 3   | 1          |
| 2   | 1          |
| 1   | 1          |

the sorting of the entire table also follows the constraints (desc) in over.

This is what confuses me, I've tried many versions of pgsql, at least
including 11-16, and the behavior is consistent with the above; but I
feel that maybe the order by in the window function should not affect
the final result.
Also, I don't know if I can mention this, but the results of both
queries tested on mysql 8.0 are the same.

I searched the mailing list for a while but couldn't find it. If
anyone has already mentioned this, sorry, please feel free to point it
out.
