fix: allowlist order_by and direction on list queries (EN-229) - #1294
DB migrations (if any) are backward-compatible and online-safe — see Database Migrations in CONTRIBUTING.md
No business logic exists within the database layer
Description of the change
getQueryContext only lowercased order_by and order, and OrderClause joined them straight into ORDER BY. This PR closes that for core's own queries, the users lists.
OrderClause(fallback, allowed ...string) in models/resource.go now accepts only a listed column and asc/desc (asc when absent); anything else returns the fallback.
The two users queries in database/users.go pass their allowlists: validUserOrderByFields for GetCurrentUsers, and residentOrderByFields for GetResidentsByIDs (no joins, so last_login and facility_name aren't sortable there).
Tests: models/resource_test.go (direction and allowlist cases), database/order_fields_test.go and handlers/query_context_order_test.go (hostile order_by and order fall back to the default).
The Programs and Provider Platforms queries moved out of core (EN-206, EN-207), so their fixes are in their own repos:
OrderClause joined order_by and order into ORDER BY unchecked. It now takes the columns a query may sort by and accepts only asc or desc for the direction, falling back to the query's default otherwise.
Programs carries its own copy of OrderClause, so it gets the same allowlist and direction check. The two queries that bypassed it, the programs overview and the class outcomes, and the raw-SQL attendance roster now go through it.
Sorting now accepts only supported columns and ascending or descending directions. Invalid sort inputs use the default ordering.
Resident lists no longer offer sort options for fields unavailable in those results.
OrderClause now validates sort fields and directions. User and resident list queries pass separate field allowlists. Tests cover query-context parsing and generated SQL for valid and hostile ordering inputs.
Changes: User and resident ordering validation

Summary
Order clause validation backend/src/models/resource.go, backend/src/models/resource_test.go, backend/src/handlers/query_context_order_test.go
OrderClause accepts allowlisted fields and asc or desc directions, defaults an omitted direction to asc, and returns the fallback for invalid inputs. Tests cover clause inputs and query-context parsing.
User and resident query allowlists backend/src/database/users.go, backend/src/database/order_fields_test.go
User and resident list queries pass distinct sort-field allowlists to OrderClause. Tests check allowlist keys and generated SQL for valid and hostile ordering inputs.

@CK-7vn, very good!! awesome work. I found a couple of things before this can go in.
The Programs fix got dropped when main was merged in.
EN-207 moved Programs out of core into unlocked-programs. So when you merged origin/main into this branch, everything from ea045a9e (the modules/programs allowlists, order_columns.go, rosterOrder, the overview and outcomes fixes, and their tests) went away with the deleted folder. This PR now only changes the core users lists.
Programs on main still has the old OrderClause in internal/models/query_context.go, and it's still used in programs_store.go, program_classes_store.go, class_enrollments_store.go, users_store.go and events_attendance_store.go. That includes the raw ORDER BY in the attendance roster and Order(args.OrderBy) in class outcomes. Those are the worst sinks in the ticket, and they're all still open.
Please port ea045a9e into an unlocked-programs PR. The code should carry over almost as-is; just the paths change.
The description still describes the Programs changes.
The bullets about modules/programs/http.go, order_columns.go, rosterOrder and the outcomes default aren't in this diff anymore. Please trim it to what the PR actually changes: OrderClause in models/resource.go, the two users allowlists, and the tests. Then add a line pointing to the Programs and Provider Platforms PRs.
EN-229 can only close once these three are reviewed and merged:
a new unlocked-programs PR with the ea045a9e changes. It needs to cover every OrderClause call site, the class outcomes Order(args.OrderBy), the overview's raw OrderBy + Order, and the raw-SQL roster in GetEnrollmentsWithAttendanceForEvent, plus a test that a bad order or order_by falls back to the default.
Open Content is already covered on main (sortColumns plus an asc/desc check in its OrderClause), so it doesn't need a PR. The ticket's Repo line still says only UnlockEdv2, so it'd be worth updating it to list core, programs and provider-platforms.
