Yes, you can't, but one could have a data source with no ordering field, but
wants to create a report, ordered as is. Examples:
- table with given order
- imported/bind spread sheet
- query form external db where user has no access to create additional query
with ordering field

Regardless of above, in any database operations, the "order by" facility is
optional, why should it be mandatory in report builder?

See above + why should user create a "duplicate" query additionally to a still
needed query without the ordering field?
