Outline not working

Question

Hi,
I have table test_otln with column t1. I want to execute statement select * from test_otln. when this statement gets executed it should give me sorted data. this i am trying to achieve by creating ouline.
I have done the following steps but outline is getting used but its not sorting data.
Can anybody tell me how i can create outline for statement select * from test_otln order by t1 so that when we issue statement select * from test_otln outline for above statement is used and i get sorted data.
I hope i am clear what i want to say.

Can anybody tell me how i can create outline for statement select * from test_otln order by t1 so that when we issue statement select * from test_otln outline for above statement is used and i get sorted data.It seems that is not possible as documentation says (http://download-uk.oracle.com/docs/cd/B10501_01/server.920/a96533/outlines.htm#26679=)
There is a one-to-one correspondence between SQL text and its stored outline. If you specify a different literal
in a predicate, then a different outline applies. To avoid this, replace literals in applications with bind variables.
