that's not strange. Lucene indexes strings and compares strings. Not numbers.
So the order is
1
10
101
11
2
20
21
3
4
and so on
I't up to you to make your number look a way that it will work, e.g.
use leading '0' to get
001
002
003
004
010
011
020
021
...
I think there's a page in the wiki about these issues.

It's a bad practice to create search strings that have to be decomposed
by query parser again, if have the parts already at hand.
At least in most cases.
I don't know the details how and when query parser will call the analyzer
and what standard analyzer does with numbers.
What does query.toString() output?
But the main problem seems to be your misunderstanding of searching numbers
in lucene. They are just strings and are treated by their lexical
representation not their numeric value.
