Data in a table is unordered - you must always use an "ORDER BY" clause in the
SELECT statement if you want it out in a particular order. There's nothing you
can do on INSERT to guarantee an ordering - it doesn't work like that.
e.g.
select itemNumber, size, inStock
from inStockApparel
order by itemNumber, size
