Thanks for taking a peek.

Interesting, it does indeed fix the issue to use labels.  Now I have
another issue though, I have a case statement in my select which I was
specifying like this:

select ( ['case when .... yada yada yada end as something' ] ......

If use_labels = True, then the query breaks because the generated sql
has two as label parts two it.

if I delete the "as something" part, I think don't know
programatically what the label is though.  I need to know that because
I order by it.

Isn't there a way to find out a column label from a query?
