Your lev_fields_dict is not a dictionary but a set object (if you use curly
braces without providing both keys and values separated by colons, you get
a set). Neither sets nor dictionaries preserve order. In any case, you
don't need a set -- just use a list (replace the curly braces with brackets
to create a list comprehension).
Also, from a security perspective, it is dangerous to eval() code submitted
by users -- don't do it. In fact, you don't need eval in any of the places
you have used it. Instead of:
eval('db.%s'%request.vars.lev_table)
You can do:
db[request.vars.lev_table]
