    Sorrend means more like: the order of things.
    In this case, the order of people in line for the cashier.

      But does it work as a pun like it does in English, where police are expected to “maintain order” (along with upholding the law and keeping the peace)?

      By asserting her place in line she foils a bank robbery. Attagirl, Jucika!

        No, that’s just “rend”. “Sorrend” is order in the sense of one thing coming after another.

        “Sor” means queue, so it’s “queue-order”.

        I don’t even think she’s foiling it; I think it’s more like “I don’t care if you rob the bank but I’m going first.”
