Public bug reported:

This came up at the newton summit and the newton midcycle:

https://etherpad.openstack.org/p/nova-newton-midcycle

But we shouldn't allow users to sort instances on any column in the
instances table in the database, which can include joined tables like
system_metadata, info_cache, extras, etc.

This is not considered an API change, it's a bug fix, since those joined
tables and internal data model can change and should not be part of the
API contract.
