Query: compilation error (value cannot be null, parameter name: tableExpression) for query with join where keys are deeply nested navigations and inner has order by

[maumar]

query:

                var query = from e4 in ctx.LevelFour
                            join e1 in ctx.LevelOne.OrderBy(ee => ee.Id) on e4.Name equals e1.OneToOne_Required_FK.OneToOne_Optional_FK.OneToOne_Required_PK.Name
                            select new
                            {
                                Id4 = e4.Id,
                                Name4 = e4.Name,
                                Id1 = e1.Id,
                                Name1 = e1.Name
                            };

                var result = query.ToList();

OrderBy(ee => ee.Id) is what causes the problem

Issue here is ProjectStarTable did not get set for the join SelectExpression correctly.
