> As a follow-on from SPARK-23375, it would be easy to remove redundant sorts in the following kind of query:
> {code}
> Seq((1), (3)).toDF("int").orderBy('int.asc).orderBy('int.desc).explain()
> == Physical Plan ==
> *(2) Sort [int#35 DESC NULLS LAST], true, 0
> +- Exchange rangepartitioning(int#35 DESC NULLS LAST, 200)
>    +- *(1) Sort [int#35 ASC NULLS FIRST], true, 0
>       +- Exchange rangepartitioning(int#35 ASC NULLS FIRST, 200)
>          +- LocalTableScan [int#35]
> {code}
> There's no need to perform {{(1) Sort}}. Since the sort operator isn't stable, AFAIK, it should be ok to remove a sort on any column that gets 'overwritten' by a subsequent one in this way.
