TopLink doesn't sort data received using Named query

Question

Hello!
I'm trying to build a Tree table using a TopLink Named query in my application.
There are Id, Parent|_Id, Code and Name columns in the corresponding database table, where Id and Parent|_Id are linked together by Foreign key (typical tree). I used TopLink to describe this table in the Model part of my application. There I wrote a Named query, without using a query constructor (not Expression radio button, but SQL radio button). Here the text of query:
select * from regions a connect by prior a.Id = a.Parent_Id start
with a.Id is null order by a.Code
Then I created a Data control and tried to build a JSF page with data based on this query, as tree-table.
But I discovered the fact, that data under the same node on the same leaf level of the Tree are not sorted by code on the JSF page. For example, data may be situated as follows (Code - Name):
2. wwwwwwwwwwww
2.3.kkkkkkkkkkkk
2.1.fffffffffffffffffffff
2.2.oooooooooo
1. qqqqqqqqqqqqqqqq
1. 2. lllllllllllllllllllllllllllll
1. 1. hhhhhhhhhhhhhh
etc.
I verified this query on other environment (PL/SQL Developer, SQL+), but didn't found such unsorted results anywhere.
Please, give me an advice to avoid this problem.
Thanks.

Hi
Something to do with TreeMap(TreeSet). I tried with TreeSet but it didn't work. Here is the code :
In servlet :
Connection lConnection = getConnection(pRequest);
String lSQL = "";
Statement lStatement;
ResultSet lResultSet;
Hashtable lLtypeHashtable = new Hashtable();
lStatement = lConnection.createStatement();
lSQL = "SELECT RCID,RCMEANING FROM REFERENCECODES WHERE RCDOMAIN = 'LOCATIONTYPE' AND RCROWSTATE > 0 order by RCMEANING";
lResultSet = lStatement.executeQuery(lSQL);
while(lResultSet.next())
String lRcid = lResultSet.getString(1);
String lRcmeaning = lResultSet.getString(2);
lLtypeHashtable.put(lRcid.trim(),lRcmeaning.trim());
if(lResultSet != null) lResultSet.close();
if(lStatement != null) lStatement.close();
pRequest.setAttribute("LtypeHashtable",lLtypeHashtable);
//Below Query is executed when one data from select element is selected
String lLType = DisplayUtilities.getString(pRequest.getParameter("LType"),true);
//LType is name of select element in JSP.
if (lLType != null)
lSQL = lSQL + " AND " + lUpperCaseFunction + "(LOCATIONTYPE)" +
" = " + DBUtilities.formatString(lLType.toUpperCase());
pRequest.setAttribute("rLType",lLType+"");
In JSp :
<%
Hashtable lLtypeHashtable = (Hashtable)request.getAttribute("LtypeHashtable");
%>
<TR>
<TD width="15%"> <div align="left">
<select name="LType" size="1" >
<option Value="">< Select ></option>
<%
if(lLtypeHashtable != null)
Enumeration enum = lLtypeHashtable.keys();
while(enum.hasMoreElements())
String key = (String)enum.nextElement();
String value = (String)lLtypeHashtable.get(key);
String flagBack = "";
if(key.equals((String)request.getAttribute("rLType")))
flagBack = "selected";
%>
<option Value="<%=key%>" <%=flagBack%>><%=value%></option>
<%
%>
</select></div>
</TD>
</TR>
How should I implement TreeSet?
Looking forward for an early reply.
Thanks.
