I have only tested with three collections, but in that case there was certainly no dependence upon order. Is there any possibility that your editor (or whatever you are using to generate the list of configs) is inserting hidden characters in the strings? For example, I think a NULL would cause the value to be truncated. Does the config value carried to the result page match exactly the one you start with?
