Description
Is your feature request related to a problem or challenge?
As @jonahgao points out in #10234:
select x from foo order by y
can is covered by add_missing_columns, by blindly adding columns into the descendant projection node. Another issue is that we should not run add_missing_columns for other SetExprs except SELECT.
In #10234 @jonahgao added a more general solution to use the merged schema from the select list and the FROM clause to handle resolving HAVING
and set operations
However, both codepaths now exist, which makes for fairly complicated planning process
Describe the solution you'd like
I think that we should handle ORDER BY similarly to HAVING, use the merged schema, add the missing columns directly in the select list, instead of traversing the plan looking for projection node. Their processing logic may be reusable. I agree it might be good to have a broader discussion about this.
Describe alternatives you've considered
One alternative might be add_missing_columns and using the new order_by_to_sort_expr
options added in #10234
