commit    da53be23d1c5e529675e958eaee54cfed4e4dbac
Author:   Andrew Gierth <rhodiumtoad@postgresql.org>
Date:     Sun Jun 30 22:49:13 2019 +0000

    Repair logic for reordering grouping sets optimization.
    
    The logic in reorder_grouping_sets to order grouping set elements to
    match a pre-specified sort ordering was defective, resulting in
    unnecessary sort nodes (though the query output would still be
    correct). Repair, simplifying the code a little, and add a test.
    
    Per report from Richard Guo, though I didn't use their patch. Original
    bug seems to have been my fault.
    
    Backpatch back to 9.5 where grouping sets were introduced.
