Please test the available patch and report the version of PHP you're using and report success results?

The patch is here:

#3349989-6: Field reference do not use order (asc,desc) that done in views reference →

I would like some more reviews of the fix before putting it in. Particularly testing results with PHP 8.2

This is still an issue for me in 7.x-1.9 when the field is referencing User entities. Tested on both php 7.4 and 8.1. It ignores both "A field attached to this entity" and "A property of the base table of this entity."

@jvogt what does this say?

drush pml | grep entityreference

Well, I downgraded back to 7.x-1.6, but after running drush dl entityreference, the output of drush pml | grep entityreference -i is:

 Fields                           Entity Reference (entityreference)                                    Module  Enabled        7.x-1.9
