OTOH, it may be that all combinations of sort and index and where are
not watched in the optimiser proper at all (too compliaced and/or too
costly), but a keyhole optimiser is run over its resulting  "best" plan
to remove redundant sorts (but it misses combinations of sort and where
like the one in your example)
