#15950: Tweak canonical redirect name requests

 Scenario: A website has the following two pages:

  * `example.com/foo/amazing-thing/`
  * `example.com/amazing/`

 Upon requesting `example.com/amazin` the canonical redirect should favour
 the top-most level page. This doesn't happen as the relevant SQL query
 doesn't have an `ORDER BY` clause, making the behaviour unpredictable.
