If the target property of an @OrderBy annotation is mapped to a SecondaryTable, the SQL select fails as it generates the order by clause using the alias of the primary table.

This, if we have a mapping such as the following:

@OneToMany(fetch = FetchType.EAGER)
@JoinColumn(name ="store_id")
@OrderBy(value = "displaySequence")
private Set<Product> products;

When the 'displaySequence' field of entity Product (table = "products") is mapped to a secondary table, the SQL order by is issued against "products" rather than this secondary table.

A simple standalone test case is available at the below. Simply run the test case and the issue can be seen from the generated SQL.
