Funny results in query

Hi all,
can someone explain why this is happening?

select field1, field2, field3, field4, field5, field6, field7, field8, 
field9, field10, field11, field12, field13, field14 from table where 
field18 = 't' order by  us_retail_price asc offset 48 limit 6;
returns...
field1
------------+
H1205
B1494
B1496
H1204
B1495
B1497

but ...

select field1, field2, field3, field4, field5, field6, field7, field8, 
field9, field10  from table where field18 = 't' order by  us_retail_price 
asc offset 48 limit 6;
returns...
field1
------------+
 H1180
 H1179
 H1205
 B1496
 H1204
 B1497

it appears the number of fields i have in the select is affecting the 
results.  I don't understand why?
running 7.2.1

Thanks in advance,
Chris
