SQL: [Docs] Add limitation for sorting on aggs (#52210)
Add a section to point out that when ordering by an aggregate only plain aggregate functions are allowed, no scalars/operators can be used on top of them. Fixes: #52204 (cherry picked from commit 78a1185549ff7f3229fd2d036567eb2a4f2cf230)

It is possible to run the same queries without a `LIMIT` however in that case if the maximum size (*10000*) is passed,
|
||||
an exception will be returned as {es-sql} is unable to track (and sort) all the results returned.
|
||||
|
||||
Moreover, the aggregation(s) used in the `ORDER BY must be only plain aggregate functions. No scalar
|
||||
functions or operators can be used, and therefore no complex columns that combine two ore more aggregate
|
||||
functions can be used for ordering. Here are some examples of queries that are *not allowed*:

SELECT age, ROUND(AVG(salary)) AS avg FROM test GROUP BY age ORDER BY avg;

SELECT age, MAX(salary) - MIN(salary) AS diff FROM test GROUP BY age ORDER BY diff;
