Steps to Reproduce

Log in as a superuser
Create a Provider, Circuit Type, and Circuit
Create a Circuit Group
Create a Circuit Group Assignment (member type: Circuit, member: the circuit created above)
Create a non-superuser with staff status
Create an object permission granting view on circuits | circuit group assignment and assign it to the user
Log in as the non-superuser
Navigate to /circuits/circuit-group-assignments/
Click the "Circuit" column header to sort by it
Alternatively, navigate directly to /circuits/circuit-group-assignments/?sort=member

Expected Behavior

The table sorts by the Circuit column without error.

Observed Behavior

django.core.exceptions.FieldError: Field 'member' does not generate an automatic reverse relation and therefore cannot be used for reverse querying. If it is a GenericForeignKey, consider adding a GenericRelation.

The sort preference is saved to the user's config, so all subsequent page loads also fail. Superusers are not affected.

The member column on CircuitGroupAssignmentTable is a GenericForeignKey but is missing orderable=False. This is the same bug fixed for CircuitTerminationTable and TunnelTerminationTable in commit 95d0ca56a (PR #19600 / #19487), but CircuitGroupAssignmentTable was not included in that fix.
