Cascading LOV - and order by clause?

Question

Hi, I have a collection that makes use of cascading lovs.
The cascading lov works properly, but I would like the return values sorted alphabetically and cannot figure out why they are not. If I run the query in SQL, it runs perfectly.
My query is:
select......
apex_item.select_list_from_query_xl(15,c015,'select port_name, port
from valid_ports
where state = '
||nvl(c014,0)
*||'order by port_name',*
'style="width:150px;background-color:#FBEC5D;"',
'YES',
'0',
'- Select PORT -',
'f15_' || LPAD (seq_id, 4, '0'),
NULL,
'NO' ) PORT,
c014 is a state code. Order by port_name.
any thoughts? thanks

Hi Varad, thanks for your response. It is the child...here is the full query, it may make more sense.
thanks again!
