It is obvious that in the order by query the company index is not used
and also it had to go thru all records in shr_objects. 
Can someone please tell me how is this happening and how to fix it.

Well, it looks like you didn't include neither queries nor there 
execution plan. Don't forget to vacuum analyze before explain analyze 
your queries.

Anyway, how many rows do you want to be sorted?
