> When calling pa.compute.sort_indices using a column name that is not in the table to be sorted, I get a malloc error that brings down the whole process, rather than a recoverable error.
> Example:
> {code:java}
> import pyarrow as pa
> from pyarrow import compute as pc
> tb = pa.table({'foo': [1, 2, 3]})
> pc.sort_indices(tb, [('foo', 'ascending'), ('bar', 'ascending')]) {code}
> results in:
> {code:java}
> python(11346,0x1046cfd40) malloc: *** error for object 0x16bdae458: pointer being freed was not allocated
> python(11346,0x1046cfd40) malloc: *** set a breakpoint in malloc_error_break to debug {code}
