Sorting not honored with JPA and Oracle

[ajaypaul-ibm]

When running a Jakarta Data test against Oracle there is an issue with sorting not always being honored.
Note: Similar issue was found in DB2 database which is solved by the PR : #2296 cause was problem in insertion of values in DB2)
Recreation steps below :
Test case :

@Test
   // @SkipIfSysProp({DB_Oracle }) 
   // Reference issue: https://github.com/OpenLiberty/open-liberty/issues/28289
   public void testOLGH28289() throws Exception {
       deleteAllEntities(Package.class);

       Package p1 = Package.of(70071, 17.0f, 17.1f, 7.7f, "testOLGH28289#70071"); // tallest and smallest length
       Package p2 = Package.of(70077, 77.0f, 17.7f, 7.7f, "testOLGH28289#70077"); // tallest and largest length
       Package p3 = Package.of(70007, 70.0f, 10.7f, 0.7f, "testOLGH28289#70007");

       List<Package> tallToShort;

       tx.begin();
       em.persist(p1);
       em.persist(p2);
       em.persist(p3);
       tx.commit();

       tx.begin();
       try {
           tallToShort = em
                   .createQuery("SELECT o FROM Package o WHERE (o.height<?1) ORDER BY o.height DESC, o.length",
                           Package.class)
                   .setParameter(1, 8.0)
                   .setLockMode(LockModeType.PESSIMISTIC_WRITE) // Cause of issue
                   .setMaxResults(2)
                   .getResultList();
       } catch (Exception e) {
           tx.rollback();
           throw e;
       }

       System.out.println(tallToShort);

       assertEquals(2, tallToShort.size());

    public int id;

    public String toString() {
