Drop Down List not sorting correctly

Hi,

I have a query that I use in a drop down form. NOMEN.GENERIC_NOMEN is the values that I want displayed in the drop down

While the value I want to select is NOMEN.NOMENCLATURE_ID.

Here is the underlying Query (notice it is sorted by the form values that I want to display)

<cfquery name="NOMEN" datasource="ilmf_parts_dev" blockfactor="100">
SELECT *
FROM NOMEN_TABLE
ORDER BY GENERIC_NOMEN ASC
</cfquery>

Here is the code for that part of the form:

<td width="96" class="style1">Nomenclature</td>
      <td width="379" class="style1"><cfselect name="Add_Inv_Nomen">
          <cfoutput query="NOMEN">
            <option value="#NOMEN.NOMENCLATURE_ID#">#NOMEN.GENERIC_NOMEN#</option>
          </cfoutput>
      </cfselect>      </td>

For some reason, the drop down displays the text in the order of the table index instead of alphabetically in ASC order.

Any Ideas?
