query_posts doesn't order by title

Question

It seems like stupid bug, but how can i order by title? It anyways orders by date! I'm using:

query_posts( array( 
    'post_type'      => 'page',
    'posts_per_page' => -1,
    'orderby'        => 'title',
    'order'          => 'ASC'
) );

I want to use this in function as SHORTCODE. What i'm trying to achieve is to create site map / index of all entries in alphabetic order. Also i'm using newest WP.

Thanks to Chip Bennett who told me that i'm doing wrong by using query_posts inside content. So i used get_posts and i got what i wanted, thanks!

Here is sample of how can you do it, if you got the same problem as me:

function some_name(){

global $post;
$tmp_post = $post;
$args = array( 'post_type'=>'page', 'numberposts' => -1, 'orderby'=> 'title', 'order' => 'ASC' );
$myposts = get_posts( $args );

         if ( !empty($myposts) ) {
              foreach( $myposts as $post ) : setup_postdata($post);
              the_title();
              echo '<br>';             

              endforeach;

         } 

          $post = $tmp_post;

 }

Another post has this code inside a function, but for those looking to simply add alphabetized posts to a custom theme, for example, you can use the following...

<?php // Alphabetize posts from the *** category
global $post;
$temp_post = $post;
$args = array( 'category' => *categoryID*, 'numberposts' => -1, 'orderby' => 'title', 'order' => 'ASC' );
$these_posts = get_posts( $args );

if( !empty($these_posts) ) {
    foreach( $these_posts as $post ) : setup_postdata($post);
?>

<?php 

/* HTML/PHP code goes here to display each post */

the_title("<h2>", "</h2>");
the_content("<div class='content'>", "</div>"); 

?>

<?php 
    endforeach; // End of The Loop.
}
$post = $temp_post;
?>
