Applying an order by clause changes the contents of an array_agg (and string_agg) when performing a window function.

select right(a.telephone1,3), a.accountid, array_agg(accountid) over (partition by lower(a.telephone1) order by a.accountid desc) as hashed_household

from air_spotter.account a;

generates the results:
889    1C14927F-C28A-E311-A35E-6C3BE5A84FE4      {1C14927F-C28A-E311-A35E-6C3BE5A84FE4}
889    8552B5D9-95ED-E311-96E3-6C3BE5A86DF8      {1C14927F-C28A-E311-A35E-6C3BE5A84FE4,8552B5D9-95ED-E311-96E3-6C3BE5A86DF8}
[NULL]  B25520B1-A08B-E011-8DC7-1CC1DEE8AA5F      {B25520B1-A08B-E011-8DC7-1CC1DEE8AA5F}

select right(a.telephone1,3), a.accountid, array_agg(accountid) over (partition by lower(a.telephone1)) as hashed_household

from air_spotter.account a;

889    1C14927F-C28A-E311-A35E-6C3BE5A84FE4      {1C14927F-C28A-E311-A35E-6C3BE5A84FE4,8552B5D9-95ED-E311-96E3-6C3BE5A86DF8}
889    8552B5D9-95ED-E311-96E3-6C3BE5A86DF8      {1C14927F-C28A-E311-A35E-6C3BE5A84FE4,8552B5D9-95ED-E311-96E3-6C3BE5A86DF8}
[NULL] B25520B1-A08B-E011-8DC7-1CC1DEE8AA5F      {B25520B1-A08B-E011-8DC7-1CC1DEE8AA5F}

Expected results would be the same total content, but the content being sorted as specified by the order by. Specifically
 {8552B5D9-95ED-E311-96E3-6C3BE5A86DF8,1C14927F-C28A-E311-A35E-6C3BE5A84FE4} for both telephones ending in 889.
