Currently the max amount of fields to order by is 5.
It would be really useful to have this number increased.

Hope this is something to consider.

Research direction

The issue asks to raise the five-field limit for ordering but names no source file, test, target limit, or entry point. Start by locating the implementation and tests for multi-field ORDER BY handling, then clarify the desired maximum and verify that queries using more than five fields are accepted.
