order of rows when selecting from table of

Hello oracle-l,

I have custom type that is "table of numbers", does Oracle guaranties
that when I use select from table(var) I will receive result in order
of indexes? If not, than how do I get not only the values but also
indexes of elements?

Thank you in advance!

Code snippet below:

SQL> create type num as table of integer
  2  /

Type created.

SQL> var result refcursor;
SQL> declare 
  2    n num := num();   
  3  begin
  4    n.extend(10);
  5    for i in 1 .. 10 loop
  6        n(i) := i;
  7    end loop;
  8    
  9    open :result for select column_value from table ( n );
 10  end;
 11  /

PL/SQL procedure successfully completed.

SQL> print result;
