I'm not wedded to that name, certainly, but it seems like neither
of these is quite getting at the issue.  An EC can be sorted on,
by definition, but there are some things we don't want to sort
on till the final output step.  I was trying to think of something
using the terminology "early sort", but didn't much like
"relation_has_early_sortable_ec_member" or obvious variants of that.
