If use a SortDescriptor for a model and sort by some attribute from a relationship, in DEBUG mode it all works fine and sorts. However, in release mode, it is an instant crash.

  • SortDescriptor<Task>(.name, order: .reverse) ---- works
  • SortDescriptor<Task>(.assignedUser?.name, order: .reverse) ---- works in debug but crash in release.

What is the issue here, is it that SwiftData just incompetent to do this?

@DTS Engineer the issue [@Ches Beiner](https://developer.apple.com/forums/profile/Ches Beiner) brought up is still an issue, as detailed in my post on the thread you linked to: SwiftData crash when using a @Query sort descriptor with a relationship
