Hey all.

I trying to create an SQL View that will use a CTE in order to use the ORDER BY clause (as suggested by the IBM i: DB2 for i SQL Reference manual on page 974-975). I am on V7R1.

CREATE VIEW needles.VIEW (Fld1 , Fld2, Fld3, Fld4)
AS with interim
as (SELECT Fld1, Fld2, Fld3, Fld4
FROM needles.TABLE
WHERE Fld4 = 'Y'
ORDER BY Fld3, Fld2)
select * from interim

This will create the view, but the ORDER BY doesn't seem to take. Using DBU to look at needles.VIEW, I find that the rows are not in Fld3, Fld2 order.

What have I done wrong?
