I don't believe this can be done the way you're wanting to.

The way I see it, you don't want to:
- use OPNQRYF (I'm cool with that).
- don't want to change the logic from RLA to imbedded sql
But you cannot create an index over two tables.
And a view cannot have an order by.

Back in the bad old days, third normal form might have been tossed out the
window and a column added which either had the customer name, or the first
so many characters thereof. On an existing table an effort may have been
undertaken to discover a column that was unused and repurpose that. Then
an add or change trigger would propagate this repurposed column with the
name (or abbreviation). Then build your index on that .
