13455	QuerySet Values() interaction with Extra(select={}) not documented	Joshua Russo	Joshua Russo	"The behavior of Values() method being applied to the Extra(select={}) columns is not obvious or documented. This is confusing since it is not applied to the Aggregate() or Annotate() columns. 

I am submitting a small update to the docs to indicate that Extra(select) must be placed before the call to Values() and the extra fields must also be within the list of Values() fields.

Personally I think that it would be better to have the Extra(select={}) either behave like the Aggregate() or Annotate() methods, or even be allowed to take precedence over the actual table columns (since they are being described explicitly). I opted against submitting a patch to accomplish this when I saw that the existing tests where written with the full awareness of the current behavior, and thus a decision must have been made by someone more important than I that this is the way it should work.
