Tables are inherently unordered.  If you want a particular order, you 
need to use the ORDER BY clause.  And you will need to have a column to 
sort by.  If you don't have one, the generate_series() function may 
help.

This has nothing to do with performance, I gather, so it might be more 
appropriate for the pgsql-sql list.
