The FOR LOOP with FIRST and LAST a) only works for index-by integers and b) is not great for sparse collections.
END LOOP;

A WHILE loop that iterates through the collection using .NEXT suits all scenarios.
e.g. something like:
DECLARE
...
idx VARCHAR2(30);
...
BEGIN
idx := v_order_tab.FIRST;
WHILE (idx IS NOT NULL)
LOOP
...
idx := v_order_tab.NEXT(idx);
END LOOP;
...
