The word 'reliably' makes no sense here. A table cannot sort data. A
cursor sorts data.

What is it with 'buckets around here?! At the physical level, the data
in a table is stored in a high predictable order (PK order as at last
file compact, date/time order subsequently). You are correct in
pointing out a table's physical attributes are not significant
considerations. Tables should only really be considered at the
logically level i.e. a complete set of entities.

Again, this makes no sense. How can table be an interface?
