PEMDAS is an acronym - you are looking for a mnemonic device.

If you reorder the acronym, you're messing up the whole point of it. It's not supposed to sound nice - it's supposed to tell you the order of operations.
Creating a new acronym for this is like changing EGBDF to FUDGE because it sounds nicer, and saying you can still read music in the treble clef. You can't. Your second line is a non-existent note, and the rest are wrong.
