Drizzle generates PG statement with parentheses on order by clause

Hello! I'm trying to execute a simple query with Drizzle, but it generates an invalid SQL statement.

import { desc, eq } from 'drizzle-orm';
await db
  .select()
  .from(messages)
  .where(eq(messages.conversationId, id))
  .orderBy([desc(messages.id)])
  .limit(10)

import { desc, eq } from 'drizzle-orm';
await db
  .select()
  .from(messages)
  .where(eq(messages.conversationId, id))
  .orderBy([desc(messages.id)])
  .limit(10)

This is the generated SQL:

select "id", "conversation_id", "content", "created_at", "updated_at"
from "messages"
where "messages"."conversation_id" = $1
order by ("messages"."id" desc)
limit $2

select "id", "conversation_id", "content", "created_at", "updated_at"
from "messages"
where "messages"."conversation_id" = $1
order by ("messages"."id" desc)
limit $2

(error: syntax error at or near "desc" at character 113) Looks like a parentheses is added on the order by clause. Am I doing something wrong?

As a side note, the following works:

tx.query.messages.findMany({
  where: eq(messages.conversationId, conversationId),
  orderBy: [desc(messages.id)],
})

tx.query.messages.findMany({
  where: eq(messages.conversationId, conversationId),
  orderBy: [desc(messages.id)],
})

await db
  .select()
  .from(messages)
  .where(eq(messages.conversationId, id))
  .orderBy(desc(messages.id))
  .limit(10)
  .orderBy()

await db
  .select()
  .from(messages)
  .where(eq(messages.conversationId, id))
  .orderBy(desc(messages.id))
  .limit(10)
  .orderBy()

Have you tried not passing an array?

Yes. Same error.

That shouldn't happen, can you put together a minimal repro?
