Kirti,

   On your example 'ORDER BY COL1' should be enough :-).
I have a solution which is not excellent (I dislike the way I prevent the query from 
returning too many rows), but seems to be working even when there is no transitivity. 
May at least give you an idea on which to start work :

select *
from (select *
      from T
      connect by col1 = prior col2
          and col1 > col2) x
where rownum <= (select count(*) from T)
/
