strange observation with "order by"

I am seeing such strange thing in MySQL Shell 8.0.13 talking to MySQL 5.7:

This is my simple table:

MySQL [/company] SQL> select * from testsimple;
+-----+
| a |
+-----+
| abc |
| def |
+-----+
2 rows in set (0.0004 sec)



Now I'm making such query:

MySQL [/company] SQL> select * from testsimple natural left join (select a, 1 mycol from testsimple where a = 'abc') part_test;
+-----+-------+
| a | mycol |
+-----+-------+
| abc | 1 |
| def | NULL |
+-----+-------+
2 rows in set (0.0005 sec)

The result above is what I expected.

Now I just add "order by a" to that query, and that is what I'm getting:

MySQL [10.143.17.55/company] SQL> select * from testsimple natural left join (select a, 1 mycol from testsimple where a = 'abc') part_test order by a;
+-----+-------+
| a | mycol |
+-----+-------+
| abc | 1 |
| def | 1 |
+-----+-------+
2 rows in set (0.0004 sec)

So, in the last row in mycol column I now have not NULL but 1.
Is this what I should be expecting ?

If yes, then why ?
