Order by clause ignored in the apex class code

I am doing a simple query on custom object like below:

SELECT Widget__c.Name,  Id, orderid__c, (SELECT Model__c.Name FROM Widget__c.Models__r) FROM Widget__c order by orderid__c

orderid__c is a numeric field, used to sort.
it works fine in the developer console query editor, but doesn't appear in ordered form in the code.

any help would be great!!!


Thanks,

ty1980, a couple of things:

1) Do you have null OrderId__c values?  If so, try appending "NULLS FIRST" or "NULLS LAST" to your ORDER BY statement, depending on your requirement.
2)  Are you feeding the query values into a Map at some point in your Apex class?  Maps are unordered, so if you use maps to pass your data around, then the data will become out of order.  To fix this you'll need to use lists instead of maps.

Hi,

Run this in the Workbench and cjeck it once. However, i am not sure how your are confirming that the records are not in order.

The query returns correct result as per the order by orderid__c  in the query editor.  The same line of sql mentioned in the apex class code is not displaying as per the orderid__c.

i am displaying the result in the visualforce page.

Thanks James, my issue got resolved. I was feeding the query values into a Map in the class. I am now using list  and it works fine.
