Building toward replacing more of the 2020 data sources! I think this is
an endpoint that benefits from bulk loading, esp with the way the item
page previews work. I also like taking the concept of "canonical" out of
the GQL interface, and instead just loading for each of the 50 species
and letting the client decide. (And then it can fast-swap between them!)
I had added this many Rails versions ago during the recent upgrade process, because it was in latest Rails but not in the version of Rails I was using when replacing Elasticsearch with MySQL queries. We can remove it now!
Ok so weird little situation, usually Arel will accept an attribute as a param to `order()`, but not when it's in a very specific situation of all of the following:
`Item.joins(:translations).includes(:translations).limit(30).order(Item::Translation.arel_table[:name])`
For some reason, it's all like "hey I can't call `to_sql` on an attribute!", but only in the scenario where all 3 of those other things are present. Weird!
Anyway, explicitly saying `.asc` fixes this. Ok!
Some important little upgrades but mostly straightforward!
Note that there's still a known issue where item searches crash, I was hoping that this was a bug in Rails 4.2 that would be fixed on upgading to 5, but nope, oh well!
Also uhh I just got a bit silly and didn't actually mean to go all the way to 5.2 in one go, I had meant to start at 5.0… but tbh the 5.1 and 5.2 changes seem small, and this seems to be working, so. Yeah ok let's roll!
Ohh ok, without this change all of our `scope`s were just immediately evaluating the argument and fetching _all_ such matching records immediately, instead of waiting to actually be called. This led to bugs like `pet_type.as_json` returning ALL pet states in the whole db, because the `PetState.emotion_order` scope was being treated as a single predefined query, rather than a query fragment to merge into the current context.
This also explains what happened in 724ed83: that's why things before the scope in the query were being ignored.
We were joining to the translations table to sort records
alphabetically, but then it sorted by *all* of the translations in
some strange way. Now use with_translations to restrict the join
to the current locale.
