Order by Fields and Values

Question

Hello All,
I am not having any success with populating data a certain way an end-user requests. I am not sure that this is possible to populate from end-users specs.
Every Department_Division group should also have the Section_Head = 'Y', which is Descending populate first. Only one Section_Head = 'Y' will exists for each Department_Division. But if it does not exists. Next the Classification_Type values should populate in this order 'EL', 'UNC' then 'CL'. The 'CL' value should not display. Here is my select statement below.
select
pk_allotment_id,
fk_department_group_descr || '/' || fk_department_descr as Department_Division,
FK_DEPARTMENT_ID as Acount_No,
FUND_NUMBER as Fund,
FK_JOBCODE_ID as Class_Code,
fk_jobcode_descr|| ' '||nvl2(term,'('||term||')',null) as Title,
number_of_positions as Number_of_Positions,
(CASE classification_type
     WHEN 'CL' THEN ''
     WHEN 'EL' THEN '(ELECTED)' 
     WHEN 'UNC' THEN '(UNCLASSIFIED)'
     END) as Classification_Type,
SECTION_HEAD as Section_Head,
FUND_TYPE as Fund_Type
from TBL_ALLOTMENT
where fund_type = 'SP'
and isdeleted <> 'Y'
order by department_division asc, title asc, section_head desc, DECODE(classification_type, '(ELECTED)', '(UNCLASSIFIED)', '') ASCAny help is appreciated and thanks for reading. Here is an example of how the data should populate.
