ZOHO COQL: Order By Picklist type field

Hello. I am extremely confused about the "ORDER BY" implementation in the Zoho COQL.

Can you please help me to sort the results?

I am using Zoho REST API: https://www.zohoapis.com/crm/v2/coql

Here is my query:

{
"select_query": "select Amount,Stage,Type FROM Deals WHERE Owner is null OR Owner is not null ORDER BY Amount ASC"
}

And the result is:

{
    "data": [
        {
            "Type": "Existing Business",
            "Amount": 25000,
            "Stage": "Proposal/Price Quote",
            "id": "4197230000000241287"
        },
        {
            "Type": "Existing Business",
            "Amount": 35000,
            "Stage": "Closed Won",
            "id": "4197230000000241289"
        },
        {
            "Type": "New Business",
            "Amount": 45000,
            "Stage": "Identify Decision Makers",
            "id": "4197230000000241286"
        },
        {
            "Type": "Existing Business",
            "Amount": 45000,
            "Stage": "Closed Lost",
            "id": "4197230000000241290"
        },
        {
            "Type": "New Business",
            "Amount": 45000,
            "Stage": "Needs Analysis",
            "id": "4197230000000241291"
        },
        {
            "Type": "New Business",
            "Amount": 55000,
            "Stage": "Needs Analysis",
            "id": "4197230000000241284"
        },
        {
            "Type": "New Business",
            "Amount": 60000,
            "Stage": "Identify Decision Makers",
            "id": "4197230000000241292"
        },
        {
            "Type": "Existing Business",
            "Amount": 70000,
            "Stage": "Value Proposition",
            "id": "4197230000000241285"
        },
        {
            "Type": "Existing Business",
            "Amount": 70000,
            "Stage": "Negotiation/Review",
            "id": "4197230000000241288"
        },
        {
            "Type": "Existing Business",
            "Amount": 250000,
            "Stage": "Qualification",
            "id": "4197230000000241283"
        }
    ],
    "info": {
        "count": 10,
        "more_records": false
    }
}

So far, so good.

Now, let's change the "ORDER BY" statement to order by Stage:

{
    "select_query": "select Amount,Stage,Type FROM Deals 
WHERE Owner is null OR Owner is not null ORDER BY Stage ASC"
}

And the result ordered in the wrong order - descending instead of ascending:

{
    "data": [
        {
            "Type": "Existing Business",
            "Amount": 250000,
            "Stage": "Qualification",
            "id": "4197230000000241283"
        },
        {
            "Type": "New Business",
            "Amount": 55000,
            "Stage": "Needs Analysis",
            "id": "4197230000000241284"
        },
        {
            "Type": "New Business",
            "Amount": 45000,
            "Stage": "Needs Analysis",
            "id": "4197230000000241291"
        },
        {
            "Type": "Existing Business",
            "Amount": 70000,
            "Stage": "Value Proposition",
            "id": "4197230000000241285"
        },
        {
            "Type": "New Business",
            "Amount": 45000,
            "Stage": "Identify Decision Makers",
            "id": "4197230000000241286"
        },
        {
            "Type": "New Business",
            "Amount": 60000,
            "Stage": "Identify Decision Makers",
            "id": "4197230000000241292"
        },
        {
            "Type": "Existing Business",
            "Amount": 25000,
            "Stage": "Proposal/Price Quote",
            "id": "4197230000000241287"
        },
        {
            "Type": "Existing Business",
            "Amount": 70000,
            "Stage": "Negotiation/Review",
            "id": "4197230000000241288"
        },
        {
            "Type": "Existing Business",
            "Amount": 35000,
            "Stage": "Closed Won",
            "id": "4197230000000241289"
        },
        {
            "Type": "Existing Business",
            "Amount": 45000,
            "Stage": "Closed Lost",
            "id": "4197230000000241290"
        }
    ],
    "info": {
        "count": 10,
        "more_records": false
    }
}

Now, let's order by Type:

{
"select_query": "select Amount,Stage,Type FROM Deals WHERE Owner is null OR Owner is not null ORDER BY Type ASC"
}

And the result is not ordered at all:

{
    "data": [
        {
            "Type": "Existing Business",
            "Amount": 250000,
            "Stage": "Qualification",
            "id": "4197230000000241283"
        },
        {
            "Type": "Existing Business",
            "Amount": 70000,
            "Stage": "Value Proposition",
            "id": "4197230000000241285"
        },
        {
            "Type": "Existing Business",
            "Amount": 25000,
            "Stage": "Proposal/Price Quote",
            "id": "4197230000000241287"
        },
        {
            "Type": "Existing Business",
            "Amount": 70000,
            "Stage": "Negotiation/Review",
            "id": "4197230000000241288"
        },
        {
            "Type": "Existing Business",
            "Amount": 35000,
            "Stage": "Closed Won",
            "id": "4197230000000241289"
        },
        {
            "Type": "Existing Business",
            "Amount": 45000,
            "Stage": "Closed Lost",
            "id": "4197230000000241290"
        },
        {
            "Type": "New Business",
            "Amount": 55000,
            "Stage": "Needs Analysis",
            "id": "4197230000000241284"
        },
        {
            "Type": "New Business",
            "Amount": 45000,
            "Stage": "Identify Decision Makers",
            "id": "4197230000000241286"
        },
        {
            "Type": "New Business",
            "Amount": 45000,
            "Stage": "Needs Analysis",
            "id": "4197230000000241291"
        },
        {
            "Type": "New Business",
            "Amount": 60000,
            "Stage": "Identify Decision Makers",
            "id": "4197230000000241292"
        }
    ],
    "info": {
        "count": 10,
        "more_records": false
    }
}

Can somebody clarify, if I can use ORDER BY for the picklist type or not?
