hi 

the "modified_at" / "created_at" columns are being repeated in each SELECT in a 
mixed way and I would guess this is confusing the ORM, which is likely using 
that last column to populate "modified_at" in the entity. the query as given 
doesn't seem to be using this "order_by" column and it's also selecting dupes 
so I believe we have to resolve for a modified XY problem here [1] with the 
modification that "user doesn't know how to do Y" should read "SQLAlchemy can't 
really do Y without some trickery if at all" .... What is the *actual* thing 
you need to do ?
