values_list on query set ordered by field added by QuerySet.extra() broken

[salfner@…]

Hi,

calling values_list() of a QuerySet object that has an "order_by" on a field that has been added by extra(select={...}) results in an error.

To reproduce the bug, use the following (pointless) example code:

from django.contrib.auth.models import User
qs = User.objects.extra(select={'sortfield':'select username'}).order_by('sortfield')
print qs.values_list('pk')

FieldError: Cannot resolve keyword 'sortfield' into field. Choices are: _message_set, auth_tokens, date_joined, email, files, first_name, groups, id, is_active, is_staff, is_superuser, last_login, last_name, password, properties, user_permissions, username

However, the following works and yields the correctly ordered result:

for user in qs.all():
  print user.pk, user.sortfield

Also the SQL statement obtained by:

print qs.query

SELECT (select username) AS "sortfield", "auth_user"."id", "auth_user"."username", "auth_user"."first_name", "auth_user"."last_name", "auth_user"."email", "auth_user"."password", "auth_user"."is_staff", "auth_user"."is_active", "auth_user"."is_superuser", "auth_user"."last_login", "auth_user"."date_joined" FROM "auth_user" ORDER BY "sortfield" ASC

executes correctly on the database console (SQLite in this case)

The full stack trace of the error is:

Indeed, the combination of extra, order_by and values/values_list triggers this exception.

The same code seems to work in Django 1.4.1
