If you `.order_by('field_that_does_not_exist')` and evaluate it you get an
empty list. This can lead to bugs if you mistype the field name and
wondering why you are getting no results. I would expect Django to raise
an exception instead. It appears it the queryset doesn't even trigger a
database call.
