There is no inherrent order to rows in a table, and there is no guarantee a particular ordering will be preserved between selects. Consider adding a column containing the required ordering and when querying the table, order the result set by that column.

To insert a row which should appear at a particular position in the result set, ensure that the value you place in the ordering column is appropriate.
