Error in dynamic query while sort allowed is true

Question

Dear all
I m entering search creteria dynamically and search result comes in a table.I have set Sort allowed true for all colum in that table.So when I click on any colum for sorting and then search data, an order by clause will be added before dynamic section of the code.
and query becomes as -
SELECT pp.name,
pp.segment1 project_number,
pp.project_status_code,
pps.project_status_name,
pp.carrying_out_organization_id,
hau.name organization,
pp.project_type,
pp.project_id,
pp.start_date,
pp.completion_date
FROM pa_projects pp,
pa_project_statuses pps,
hr_all_organization_units_v hau
WHERE pp.project_status_code = pps.project_status_code AND
pp.carrying_out_organization_id = hau.organization_id AND
pp.template_flag <> 'Y') QRSLT ORDER BY PROJECT_NUMBER asc AND pps.project_status_name ='Active'
as u can see at the last line of code ' ORDER BY PROJECT_NUMBER asc ' is added before qynamic section 'AND pps.project_status_name ='Active' and it makes query invalid.
If u have any suggestions ,Plz let me know.
Thanks

Bhupendra,
As per Oracle SQL Standard "Order by clause" always be the last synatx of Query.
As per OAF Standard , always avoid for dynamic query, instead we can create View Object.
As you are created dynamic query with "order by clause" syntax., The code is also adding where clause after the order by clause. So you are getting the error.
So Delete the "order by clause", it will work fine.
After adding the where clause (i.e. AND pps.project_status_name ='Active' ), You should add the setOrderByClause();
