Before inserting the Sort node, we must identify the column 
corresponding to each path key. And here is the problem: IndexScan has 
two elements in the target list, but SeqScan has only one. It already 
looks strange to me. How do we UNION two sources with different numbers 
of resulting columns? It seems to me we have a bug under the Append node.
