Oracle's ``++ROWNUM++`` is a pseudo column that numbers the rows in a result set. Unfortunately, it numbers the rows in the set _before_ ordering is applied. So combining the two in the same query won't get you the results you expect. Instead, you should move your selection and ordering into a subquery, and use ``++ROWNUM++`` only on the outer query.
