Apart from the problems mentioned by Tore, there are at least two other problems with inserting a record in a certain physical position (with INSERT):

This is very slow in large tables.

This doesn't work with shared tables, in a multi-user environment.

You should control the position of the records with an index, on a field that contains the value on which you want to order.
