Bug description

Following error occurs if the orderBy array of findMany() contains an empty object

Error: 
Invalid `prisma.example.findMany()` invocation:

{
  orderBy: [
    {
      createdAt: undefined
    }
  ]
}

Unknown arg `0` in orderBy.0 for type ExampleOrderByInput. Available args:

type ExampleOrderByInput {
  id?: SortOrder
  createdAt?: SortOrder
}

How to reproduce

// ❌ Error
const examples = await prisma.example.findMany({
  orderBy: [
    {
      createdAt: args.orderBy?.createdAt?.direction // 'asc' | 'desc' | undefined
    }
  ]
})

// ❌ Error
const examples = await prisma.example.findMany({
  orderBy: [
    {
      createdAt: undefined
    }
  ]
})

// ❌ Error
const examples = await prisma.example.findMany({
  orderBy: [
    {
    }
  ]
})

// ✅ Works
const examples = await prisma.example.findMany({
  orderBy: {
    createdAt: undefined
  }
})

// ✅ Works
const examples = await prisma.example.findMany({
  orderBy: [
  ]
})

// ✅ Works
const examples = await prisma.example.findMany({
  orderBy: [
    {
      createdAt: args.orderBy?.createdAt?.direction // 'asc' | 'desc' | undefined
    }
  ].filter((value) => !Object.values(value).includes(undefined))
})

Expected behavior

// ✅ Works
const examples = await prisma.example.findMany({
  orderBy: [
    {
      createdAt: undefined
    }
  ]
})

Thanks, @matthewmueller

Perhaps a filter pattern where created_at can be provided or undefined, depending on what the user chooses?

Yes.
