** pOrderBy is a pointer to the ORDER BY clause of a SELECT statement,

** is called from an UPDATE or DELETE statement, then pOrderBy is NULL.
**
** If an index can be used so that the natural output order of the table
** scan is correct for the ORDER BY clause, then that index is used and
** the returned WhereInfo.nOBSat field is set to pOrderBy->nExpr.  This
** is an optimization that prevents an unnecessary sort of the result set
** if an index appropriate for the ORDER BY clause already exists.
**
** If the where clause loops cannot be arranged to provide the correct
** output order, then WhereInfo.nOBSat is 0.
