    In interpreted mode, we use the same expression to eval 2 
[rows](https://github.com/apache/spark/blob/master/sql/catalyst/src/main/scala/org/apache/spark/sql/catalyst/expressions/rows.scala#L164-L165),
 which means we only keep one copy of mutable states for that expression. 
However, in `GenerateOrdering`, we call `order.child.gen(ctx)` twice and thus 
make 2 copy of mutable states for that expression. This is inconsistent, and 
may return different compare result.
    
    However, should we allow stateful expressions in order by?
