Tu ORDER BY en la subconsulta de la tabla derivada se ignora en MySQL 5.7.
Consulte https://dev.mysql.com/ doc/refman/5.7/en/optimización-de-tablas-derivadas.html
Su consulta externa tiene JOIN y GROUP BY, por lo que no califica para propagar ORDER BY, por lo tanto, ignora ORDER BY.
Este comportamiento del optimizador está controlado por el modificador del optimizador derived_merge . Puedes desactivarlo.
