I agree, I was merely trying to present a solution to the OP's problem. I don't know what came over me with my view. Of course you can't put an order by on a sub-query that was the original problem.

You can put an order by if you use top so you could do this:

     > Replace view pview.target_table
     > As
     > Select top 100 percent x,y,z
     > From pdata.target_table
     > Order by z
     > ;

But that makes the view "read only". I guess the OP has to revert to the original suggestion - modify the program to include the order by.

Thanks to Dieter for pointing out my error.
