Query Of Query of ordered result set error in CFSCRIPT in CF10

I have come across a very interesting error when doing a query of a query inside a CFSCRIPT tag...

I get a result set back from a SQL Server stored procedure.  It is a list of metric names (METRIC_ID) and the actual metric measurements.

I need to pull the METRIC_ID from this result set to do a JOIN on another query that has display and other formatting attributes for display in a web page.

The following code executes with no errors when the query is unordered:

var displayDataQuery = new Query();

displayDataQuery.setName("joinedQuery");

displayDataQuery.setDBType("query");

displayDataQuery.setAttributes(qry1 = fullMetricsListQuery);

displayDataQuery.setAttributes(qry2 = arguments.cubeData);

displayDataQuery.setSQL("SELECT METRIC_ID FROM qry2");

var tempResultSet = displayDataQuery.execute();

var cubeMetricIDList = tempResultSet.getResult();

When I take the same exact query results from the same stored procedure, but it's ordered by an ORDER BY clause, this statement;

var tempResultSet = displayDataQuery.execute();

throws the following error - "The value '' cannot be converted to a number."   That's 2 single quotes, signifying an empty string between "value" and "cannot."

Wait, what???  I just want a list of metric names, varchars.  Why is there a conversion error...?

The error ultimately points back to ColdFusion10\cfusion\CustomTags\com\adobe\coldfusion\base.cfc, line 445.

OK, this is where this takes an interesting turn...

Starting at line 444 in base.cfc, Line 445 bolded in red:

<cfif sqlType neq "" and arraylen(sqlParams) gt 0>

    <cfloop index="i" from="2" to="#ArrayLen(sqlArray)#">

          <cfif (i-1) lte arraylen(sqlParams)>

               <cfqueryparam attributeCollection="#sqlParams[i-1]#"/>

          </cfif>

          #getPreserveSingleQuotes(sqlArray[i])#

     </cfloop>       

</cfif>

So if I understand this correctly, when I have an unordered query, this code in base.cfc reads the SQL set in displayDataQuery.setSQL("SELECT METRIC_ID FROM qry2"), but doesn't when the query is ordered by METRIC_ID...?

Ah, wait...  the CFDUMP when using an ordered data set says something else...

I'm pretty much stumped why the same data in unordered set works while in an ordered set causes this error.

Any and all helpful suggestions or clues will be greatly appreciated!!!
