That makes no sense. Row isn't 'isa' ResultSource.

DBIx::Class uses C3 dispatch currently so method call ordering is resolved
via linearizing @ISA. If you want A's overrides to happen before B's, make
sure A is first in @ISA. If A already depends on B, just have it subclass
B and then you're guaranteed.
