extensions do have unit tests in some cases, the association proxy
was a real fast idea I had one day, and its also a pretty small set
of code, so it hasnt acquired any as of yet.

this error is not related to the association proxy and is because the
"items" table is not used to load OrderItem objects, so the OrderItem
eager loader leaves the column alone. there is a line in the 0.3.5
version and earlier that runs the "alias" step unconditionally on all
the ORDER BY clauses attached to the statement and thats why it works
there...but this was removed because it could affect elements which
the user didnt intend to be lumped into the eager clause for that
relationship.
the appropriate way to set up this ordering is like:
mapper(Order, orders, properties={
'itemassociations':relation(OrderItem, cascade="all, delete-
orphan", lazy=False, order_by=None)
})
mapper(Item, items)
mapper(OrderItem, orderitems, properties={
'item':relation(Item, lazy=False, order_by=items.c.description)
})
the "order_by=None" on itemassociations is so no ORDER BY clause is
generated for that relationship, allowing the order by on the "item"
relationship to take effect.
