 The title pretty much says it. When annotating a window function value and
 then sorting by it, the resulting order_by clause in the SQL is wrong. It
 was fine in Django 4.1.11 and is broken from Django 4.2.1 onwards.

 Here's the repro, in companies/models.py
 {{{
 class A(models.Model):
     a = models.CharField(max_length=20)
 }}}

 Then, in a shell
 {{{
 from companies.models import A
 from django.db.models import F, Window
 from django.db.models.functions import Rank, Substr
 query = A.objects.annotate(rank=Window(expression=Rank(),
 partition_by=F("a"))).order_by("rank")
 print(query.query)
 }}}

 Wrong result (it doesn't sort at all):
 {{{
 SELECT "companies_a"."id", "companies_a"."a", RANK() OVER (PARTITION BY
 "companies_a"."a") AS "rank" FROM "companies_a" ORDER BY 3 ASC
 }}}

 In previous django versions (<= 4.1.11), it reads:

 {{{
 SELECT "companies_a"."id", "companies_a"."a", RANK() OVER (PARTITION BY
 "companies_a"."a") AS "rank" FROM "companies_a" ORDER BY "rank" ASC
 }}}

 Which is correct.

 Unfortunately, I didn't find the culprit in the source, sorry.
