   ## Which issue does this PR close?
   
   - Closes #21361 .
   
   ## Rationale for this change
   
   This PR adds functional-dependency-based simplification for `ORDER BY` 
clauses. When an earlier sort key already functionally determines a later key, 
the later key is redundant and can be removed without changing query semantics. 
This reduces unnecessary sorting work and avoids carrying extra sort keys 
through planning and execution.
   
   ## What changes are included in this PR?
   
   This PR extends the existing functional dependency utilities with a helper 
for pruning redundant sort keys, and wires that helper into 
`eliminate_duplicated_expr` so `Sort` nodes can be simplified during 
optimization. It also adds regression coverage for both the positive case, 
where a trailing sort key is removed, and the negative case, where sort order 
prevents pruning.
   
   ## Are these changes tested?
   
   Yes. I added unit tests covering:
   - removal of a functionally redundant trailing `ORDER BY` key
   - preservation of ordering when the dependent column appears before its 
determinant
   
   I also ran `cargo test -p datafusion-optimizer eliminate_duplicated_expr -- 
--nocapture` successfully, and `cargo fmt --all` passes.
   
   ## Are there any user-facing changes?
   
   Yes, but only in query planning behavior. Some queries with redundant `ORDER 
BY` keys may produce simpler plans and run more efficiently. There are no 
public API changes.
