   > Is order by old syntax supported already? If not, maybe we could only 
support old syntax without ordering and let user goes to within group syntax 
for ordering case
   
   yes, we already support the old syntax
   
   > I would prefer to deprecate or remove old syntax since refactor is not 
costly with agent these day, however not sure how many users would be impacted 
with this and how they thought about rewriting code to new syntax
   
   I would prefer that we avoid breaking changes to SQL syntax. In 
observability systems like our(OpenObserve), dashboards and saved queries are 
persisted user data and can be difficult to migrate automatically. Such changes 
could break many dashboards and force downstream systems to add compatibility 
layers, as [we had to do when upgrading OpenObserve to DataFusion 
49](https://github.com/openobserve/openobserve/pull/7649/changes#diff-d9ccf393c53794b0ef2816eef12742c26e23d2788cde27780af7570662aea446R1921-R1978).
 DataFusion 50 later restored support for the old syntax.
