ORDER BY Statement in CALENDAR doesn't work! SOLVED

Question

Hello!
I think I've searched nearly all threads containing the words 'calendar' and 'order'... I've found some threads dealing with the same problem as I do but I couldn't solve my problem yet...
I've got a calender and the data in the day columns are displayed like this:
time: what, e.g. 13:30: Test (13:30 would be 1:30 pm...)
In one day column can be more then one deadline and I want them to be ordered by the time they take place - like in any other, 'normal' calender.
But my ORDER BY Statement has no effect!
My day column does look like this: http://img88.imageshack.us/img88/8413/calendar01vy8.jpg - very unordered!
And this is my Code:
(please ignore the _ in <_span>, <_b> and <_br /> - I don't want the HTML code to have an effect of the display of this post!)
SELECT
CASE WHEN C.EnvName = 'Production' THEN
'<_span style = "font size: 11; color: black; background-color: coral">' || '<_b>' || TO_CHAR(B.AffectedFrom, 'HH24:MI') || ': ' ||'<_/b>'|| A.ChName || '<_br />' ||'<_/span>'
WHEN C.EnvName = 'Development' THEN
'<_span style = "font size: 11; color: black; background-color: cyan">' || '<_b>' || TO_CHAR(B.AffectedFrom, 'HH24:MI') || ': ' ||'<_/b>'|| A.ChName || '<_br />' || '<_/span>'
ELSE
'<_span style = "font size: 11; color: black; background-color: gold">' || '<_b>' || TO_CHAR(B.AffectedFrom, 'HH24:MI') || ': ' ||'<_/b>'|| A.ChName || '<_br />' || '<_/span>'
END AS ChName, B.ActID, B.ActDate, TO_CHAR(B.AffectedFrom, 'HH24:MI') AS AffectedFrom, C.EnvName
FROM RB_Change A, RB_Action B, RB_Environment C
WHERE A.CHID = B.CHID AND B.EnvID = C.EnvID
ORDER BY AffectedFrom
My Display Type is Custom and my Display Format is #CHNAME#
In this thread (Re: CALENDAR - SQL ORDER BY CLAUSE NOT WORKING I read I would have to insert '<INPUT TYPE="HIDDEN" VALUE="' || p_value || '" />' (in my code it would be into my code '<INPUT TYPE="HIDDEN" VALUE="' || ChName || '" />', wouldn't it?) - but where should I insert it?
Sorry, but I'm very new to APEX, HTML and PLSQL...
Can anyone help me please? I would be very grateful!

Hi Dik!
Thanks a lot for your quick answer.
I just tried out what you said and created a view. I needed to do it with all the joined tables because the date, the time shown and the text shown are in two different tables and later I need them for daylink...
The view is created and looks fine (with all the color I want) and the calendar works - but it hat no effect... The calendar looks just the same like before - unordered... So I undid the change with the view and now I've got the same state as before.
I just used the 'debug'-function of APEX and realised that APEX fetches my SELECT statement and embeds it in an own SELECT statement...
That looks like this:
SELECT * FROM ( - here comes my SELECT statement I described in my first post - ) where ACTDATE >= to_date('20080201:00:00:00','RRRRMMDD:HH24:MI:SS') and ACTDATE <= to_date('20080229:23:59:59','RRRRMMDD:HH24:MI:SS') order by ACTDATE asc
Has got anyone an idea how I can order my data in the way I want???
