Hashes in Ruby do not keep the insertion order, you should do it like this:
<%= select_tag :module, options_for_select( [ ['All',''], ['Evidence'
, 1], ['Assets', 2], ['Inventory', 3], ['Water' , 4], ['Laboratory' ,
5], ['State EPA', 6], ['Administrator', 7]]), :style => "width:206px",
:id => :indexselect %>
