That info is stored in the table header on each AMP.

create index (foo, bar) order by values(bar) on table foobar;
There are three rows added in dbc.indices for that index: Two for columns foo and bar and one for the ordering column. They're stored
with different index numbers, eg. x and x+4, but i don't know if this x+4 will always be true. IndexType for the index is 'V' and IndexType
for the ordering column is 'I'.
e.g.
TableName IndexNumber IndexType ColumnName ColumnPosition
foobar 20 V foo 1
foobar 20 V bar 2
foobar 24 I bar 1
