Entity property called desc used with query order by desc generates bad sql

[zh-or]

Expected behavior

build sql is

select t0.id, t0.content, t0.create_time, t0.desc from link_test t0 order by t0.id 

Actual behavior

build sql is

select t0.id, t0.content, t0.create_time, t0.desc from link_test t0 order by t0.id t0.desc

Steps to reproduce

mysql table sql

CREATE TABLE `link_test` (
	`id` INT(11) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
	`content` VARCHAR(255) NULL DEFAULT NULL COLLATE 'utf8_general_ci',
	`create_time` DATETIME NOT NULL DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP,
	`desc` VARCHAR(50) NOT NULL DEFAULT '' COLLATE 'utf8_general_ci',
	PRIMARY KEY (`id`) USING BTREE
)
COMMENT='test table'
COLLATE='utf8_general_ci'
ENGINE=InnoDB
AUTO_INCREMENT=7
;

Can you change your field name and add a @Column(name="desc") mapping like:

@Column(name="desc")
public String description;

TABLE link_test

Looking at the create table DDL, it almost looks like you are wanting to use quoted identifiers like DatabaseConfig.setAllQuotedIdentifiers(true)

https://ebean.io/apidoc/15/io.ebean.api/io/ebean/config/DatabaseConfig.html#setAllQuotedIdentifiers(boolean)

Yes, I am currently avoiding it by modifying the field name
