A somewhat common problem.
A common workaround is to change "ORDER BY a" to something like "ORDER BY a+0"
(if your framework will allow it).

I'm not sure if it would help your original issue, but the rowcount estimate
here is bad - overestimating 2231839 rows instead of 5.
Could you try to determine which of those conditions (id_status, date_from,
date_to, or SubPlan) causes the mis-estimate, or if the estimate is only wrong
when they're combined ?
