Research direction

Reproduce the third column-sort click described in the issue and inspect the generated SQL. Trace where removing the sort removes ORDER BY, then ensure the resulting OFFSET/FETCH query remains valid; done means cycling ASC, DESC, and no sort no longer produces the reported syntax error.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

I get this error when I click a column sort 3 times. It sorts ASC on first click, the DESC, then error.

The generated SQL is:

SELECT
    [InventoryServer].[Id] as 'InventoryServer.Id',
    [InventoryServer].[Name] as 'InventoryServer.Name',
    [InventoryServer].[DockDate] as 'InventoryServer.DockDate',
    [InventoryServer].[BillingStartDate] as 'InventoryServer.BillingStartDate',
    [PatchPartyDowntime].[Name] as 'PatchPartyDowntime.Name',
    [VirtualEnvironment].[Description] as 'VirtualEnvironment.Description'
    -- Many more redacted
FROM
    [InventoryServer]
    LEFT JOIN [ContactGroup] ON [ContactGroup].[Id] = [InventoryServer].[ContactGroupId]
    LEFT JOIN [DisasterRecoveryTeir] ON [DisasterRecoveryTeir].[Id] = [InventoryServer].[DisasterRecoveryTeirId]
    LEFT JOIN [Domain] ON [Domain].[Id] = [InventoryServer].[DomainId]
    -- Many more redacted
WHERE
    (1 = 1) OFFSET 0 ROWS FETCH NEXT 10 ROWS ONLY

It appears the order by is ripped away as a part of removing the sort on my third click.

Let me know if you need more code.
