It's true: the elements are not returned in the expected order. I spent some time looking at the code but unfortunately I could not find the code where the tree is built. A possible workaround could be treating the oField's as instances of com.sun.star.text.XTextContent, and then using their getAnchor() method to obtaining the sort key. I am sorry I cannot be any more specific than this.
