Under What Conditions Can I name my CPT the same as my CPT Page?
There’s nothing magical about it, your post type doesn’t have an archive ( has_archive is false ), so there’s no rewrite rule for your post type that matches just /%post_type%/, the only existing rules for your post type are for /%post_type%/%some_other_thing%/, so there’s no clash with your page.

Perhaps try: $the_query = ‘posts_per_page=-1&orderby=name&order=ASC&post_type=mycustom&custom_cat=mycat’; It’s also possible that the value you are passing is incorrect, but without knowing the details of your custom post type there’s not much else I can suggest.
