Read only view which has an ORDER BY clause

Question

Aim to create a read only view which has an ORDER BY clause
Sample script
CREATE TABLE tab1 (
col1 VARCHAR2(3),
col2 NUMBER
INSERT INTO tab1(col1, col2) VALUES ('ccc', 30);
INSERT INTO tab1(col1, col2) VALUES ('bbb', 20);
INSERT INTO tab1(col1, col2) VALUES ('ddd', 40);
INSERT INTO tab1(col1, col2) VALUES ('aaa', 10);
COMMIT;
-- To creat View
CREATE OR REPLACE VIEW v_tab1
AS
SELECT
col1,
col2
FROM
tab1
ORDER BY
col1
WITH READ ONLY;
I get the following error
WITH READ ONLY
ERROR at line 10:
ORA-00933: SQL command not properly ended
When I comment out the ORDER BY clause, the view is created
Pls let me know how I can create a read only view with ORDER BY clause

Hi,
take a look at the documentation for CREATE VIEW, there is a restriction:
"You cannot specify the ORDER BY clause in the subquery if you also specify the subquery_restriction_clause."
