Order in a Select List based in a LOV is wrong

Question

I have a select list based upon a LOV SQL Query.
Values in table are:
FIELD
001
002
003
AAA
when I make query in SQL Workshop:
select FIELD from TABLE order by FIELD;
I get
001
002
003
AAA
But when I make a similar query in LOV the result is in the select list
AAA
001
002
003
Someone knows what is happening?
Thank
Ander

It looks like your application is running a different sort / NLS preference then is the SQL workshop. Is there a chance your application identifies a language that sorts differently then default APEX. I am just guessing but it could explain this behavior.OK, I think something like this is happening because my Oracle instance have SPANISH like a NLS_LANG parameter, but why is different result between sql Workshop and LOV query, I have installed english and spanish languages in my apex instance, I get the same problem in both cases.
Other curious think is that my min and max values are OK,
for example
BETWEEN: <select list 1> AND <select list 2>
default value for <select list 1> is
DECLARE
exitvalue varchar2(10);
BEGIN
select min(FIELD) into exitvalue
from TABLE
return (exitvalue);
END;
I get 001
default value for <select list 2> is
DECLARE
exitvalue varchar2(10);
BEGIN
select max(FIELD) into exitvalue
from TABLE
return (exitvalue);
END;
I get AAA
But select list are ordered like
AAA
001
002
003
I have based select list in a lot of different sql ways
select FIELD from TABLE ORDER BY FIELD
select FIELD from TABLE ORDER BY 1
select FIELD from TABLE ORDER BY FIELD ASC
select FIELD from TABLE ORDER BY 1 ASC
Other extraneous think is that I use DESC order I get
003
002
001
AAA
Thanks
