Comment (by charettes):

 Replying to [comment:4 ris]:
 >I've now found cases where specifying a related model to `.order_by()`
 will cause this behaviour whereas simply adding `__pk` to that model
 lookup will allow it to work fine.

 Again, this is just like documented.

 {{{#!python
 class Author(models.Model):
     name = models.CharField(max_length=100)

     class Meta:
         ordering = ['name']

 class Book(models.Model):
     author = models.ForeignKey(Author)

 # Equivalent to order_by('author__name')
 Book.objects.order_by('author')

 # Equivalent of order_by('author__id'), it bypasses the defined ordering
 but results in a JOIN.
 Book.objects.order_by('author__pk')

 # Used to be equivalent of order_by('author__name') before #19195 was
 fixed.
 Book.objects.order_by('author_id')
 }}}
