Did you see Joseph's and my responses this morning?

Again:

A database

IS NOT A SPREADSHEET.

You should not, indeed *cannot*, "insert" a row in a table, any more
than you would "insert" another golf ball into a bucket full of golf
balls. You just throw the new record into the table, just as you'ld
throw another golf ball into the bucket.

You are misunderstanding and misusing the program if you try to do
this.

Solution? Have a numeric field in your table; manually or
programatically set that field to the desired sort sequence. Use a
Query sorting by this field to display the data in order.
