nit: now it's more efficient to do transformDown

assume the plan is

Sort
  Filter
    Sort
      Filter
        Sort
          OtherPlan

If we do transformUp, we hit the rule 3 times, which has some unnecessary transformation(OtherPlan is transformed 3 times). If it's transformDown, it's one-shot.

yes, but I saw that transfrom actually does transformDown. Anyway, I see that this might change and here we best have transformDown

case Sort(orders, true, child) if SortOrder.orderingSatisfies(child.outputOrdering, orders) =>
child
case s @ Sort(_, _, Sort(_, _, child)) => s.copy(child = child)

Thanks for doing this! It might be useful to generalise this to any pair of sorts separated by 0 or more projections or filters. I did this for my SPARK-23975 PR, see: henryr@bb992c2#diff-a636a87d8843eeccca90140be91d4fafR322

What do you think?

yes, it makes sense. I will do, thanks.

Could you add a test which explicitly confirms that sort.limit.sort is not simplified? I know the above two tests cover that case, but it's good to have one dedicated to testing this important property.

test("remove two consecutive sorts") {
val orderedTwice = testRelation.orderBy('a.asc).orderBy('b.desc)
val optimized = Optimize.execute(orderedTwice.analyze)
val correctAnswer = testRelation.orderBy('b.desc).analyze
comparePlans(optimized, correctAnswer)
}

Can you add a test for three consecutive sorts? Two is the base case, three will help us show the inductive case :)
