Adding All Records In Report Parameter

Question

This is in addition to my previous post.
I have this code as the source to a lov
SELECT l.extkey||' - '||l.longdescr a, l.clocid b
from udm_cloc l, udm_cust c, udm_lde lde
where l.custid = c.custid
and c.ldeid = lde.ldeid
and lde.ldekey = :F140_LDEKEY
and l.closedate is null
and l.orddcid = :P9_DCID
union
select 'ALL Records' a, -1 b from dual
ORDER by 2It is working fine except I need to change the ORDER BY clause to
ORDER BY to_number(l.extkey) asc
When I do that, I get an error
LOV query is invalid, a display and a return value are needed, the column names need to be different. If your query contains an in-line query, the first FROM clause in the SQL statement must not belong to the in-line query.
Cheers

LOV query is invalid, a display and a return value are needed, the column names need to be different. If your query contains an in-line query, the first FROM clause in the SQL statement must not belong to the in-line query.Create your query as an in-line view, including any additional columns required for sorting, and perform the sort and final LOV projection in the outer query:
select
          lov_label
        , lov_value
from
          (select
                    deptno || ' - ' || ename                lov_label
                  , empno                                   lov_value
                  , /* to_number here if required */ deptno lov_sort
          from
                    emp
          union all
          select
                    '- All -'
                  , null
                  , null
          from
                    dual)
order by
          lov_sort nulls first
