Need help building list option, experiencing weird undesirable behavoir

Question

I am experiencing some weird behavior on a dynamic list I am creating.
This is my sql report query:
<pre>
SELECT LIST_ITEM,SEQ_ID FROM
(select apex_item.popup_from_lov(1,
c001,
:P4_LIST_TYPE,
25,
25,
0,
'NO',
NULL,
'onkeyup="javascript:this.value=this.value.toUpperCase();" onblur="validateList(this)"') || apex_item.hidden(2,seq_id) list_item,SEQ_ID from apex_collections
where collection_name = 'LIST'
and c002 = :p4_list_type
union
select apex_item.popup_from_lov(1,
NULL,
:P4_LIST_TYPE,
25,
25,
0,
'NO',
NULL,
'onkeyup="javascript:this.value=this.value.toUpperCase();" onblur="validateList(this)"') || apex_item.hidden(2,null) list_item,NULL SEQ_ID from
dual connect by level <= 10
</pre>
I have a button that updates the collection... it works fine the first time I use it
After I use it, however my LOV icons are all screwed up
I look at the hyperlinks on the buttons and they are a varchar2 sort, because I start with 10 rows, the sequence goes 0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9... however when I add 1 row to the collection, the sorting goes 0,1,10,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9. so when I click the LOV icon for the 3rd row, it returns the value in the last row.
I've been playing with sorting options, but nothing seems to work properly for this.
Thanks,
Scott

I built a work around for my original case, but I am experiencing another issue very similar to here
Look at http://apex.oracle.com/pls/otn/f?p=29989:5
If you click on the LOV button and select a value, it is putting it in the wrong place. How can I ensure that the LOV icon is choosing the right location.
I simplified this query to show my example... I am making the column dynamic based on the column name (if the LOV exists), but for this purpose it serves the point.
This is the query code:
<pre>
select column_name || apex_item.hidden(1,column_name) Col_name,
apex_item.SELECT_LIST_FROM_lov(2,'=','OPERATOR') OPERATOR,
decode(column_name,'CUSTOMER_ID',
apex_item.popup_from_lov(3,
NULL,
COLUMN_NAME,
25,
25,
0,
'NO',
NULL,
NULL,
'YES',
'f03_' || '#ROWNUM#')
,apex_item.text(3,NULL) )
VALUE
from user_tab_cols
where table_name = 'DEMO_ORDERS'
ORDER BY COLUMN_ID
</pre>
