Pull Request Overview
This PR refactors the handling of order expressions by transitioning from a List to a OneOrMany data structure, aiming to simplify and standardize the state management of order expressions. Key changes include:
- Renaming unit tests to more accurately reflect the type of order chain (OrderBy vs. OrderByDescending) and adding a new test for handling invalid root chains.
- Updating the Specification class to use OneOrMany<OrderExpressionInfo> instead of a List.
- Modifying the OrderEvaluator logic to use new OneOrMany order expression properties and to enhance duplicate order chain detection.

- Verify that the Clone method on OneOrMany properly creates a deep copy as needed to avoid unintended shared state between specifications.
