I wanted to avoid using OPNQRYF and did this:

CREATE TABLE QTEMP/mytable AS
(SELECT * FROM myfile ORDER BY myfield)
WITH DATA
RCDFMT myfile_formatname

Making a full permanent [irrespective of "QTEMP"] copy of the data into QTEMP, just to create an ordered copy :-( Sometimes avoidance should be avoided ;-)

But the format levels of mytable and myfile are not the same,
despite using RCDFMT.
Why?

That depends... on what is the exact definition and origins of MYFILE. One example, defaults and identity attributes would not be included in the new TABLE using the given syntax.
