Bug#50843: Filesort used instead of clustered index led to

performance degradation.

Filesort + join cache combination is preferred to full index scan because it
is usually faster. But it's not the case when the index is clustered one.

Now test_if_skip_sort_order function prefers filesort only if index isn't
clustered.
