# Which Problems Are Solved
#10415 added the possibility to filter users based on metadata. To
prevent duplicate results an sql `DISTINCT` was added. This resulted in
issues if the list was sorted on string columns like `username` or
`displayname`, since they are sorted using `lower`. Using `DISTINCT`
requires the `order by` column to be part of the `SELECT` statement.
# How the Problems Are Solved
Added the order by column to the statement.
# Additional Changes
None
# Additional Context
- relates to #10415
- backport to v4.x
