Steps to reproduce

  1. Create an EE with some fields.
  2. Create a view of that EE.
  3. Add some fields to the view.
  4. Add a sort to the view with one of the configured fields.
  5. Save it.
  6. Go look at the page/block/whatever.
  7. The error is shown.

Proposed resolution

I don't see a sort implementation at https://git.drupalcode.org/project/external_entities/-/tree/3.0.x/module..., maybe that's the problem?

    Drupal Views core was built assuming Sql::$orderby is public.
    If query plugin replaces the default one and doesn’t declare it (or keeps it protected), this line fails:

    $this->view->query->orderby

    in ExposedFormPluginBase::query() (line 160)

    Problem:
    protected array $orderby;
    Core Views expects this to be public because it accesses it directly from outside (e.g., in ExposedFormPluginBase::query()).

    Fix:
    public array $orderby = [];
    Also initialize it to an empty array to avoid undefined property errors when using null coalescing: foreach ($this->orderby ?? []).

    $fields should be public
    Core plugins may access $fields too, e.g., during rendering or sorting.

    public array $fields = []

    Thanks kalpanajaiswal, I checked what you pointed out and the changes make sense (and not a big deal). Merged.
    @Colan if you can test and confirm the fix, I let you close the issue.

    I'm not in a good position to test right now so let's just mark it fixed, and then reopen if there are problems.
