The documentation on `order_by()` states:
> It is also possible to order a queryset by a related field, without
incurring the cost of a JOIN, by referring to the _id of the related
field:
> {{{
> # No Join
> Entry.objects.order_by('blog_id')
>
> # Join
> Entry.objects.order_by('blog__id')
> }}}
However, in recent versions the latter query is optimised and won't create
a join:
{{{
>>> print(Bar.objects.order_by('foo__id').query)
SELECT "foo_bar"."id", "foo_bar"."foo_id" FROM "foo_bar" ORDER BY
"foo_bar"."foo_id" ASC
}}}
