Read the Oracle Documentation or http://otn.oracle.com or http://metalink.oracle.com
on what a RowID is. It is actually a composite of
File_Number_in_Database + Block_Number_in_File + Row_Number_within_Block.
Since a Table is like a "heap" rows may be inserted by Oracle in any of the
available blocks -- your next insert may or may not be in the same Block. There are
very many reasons why the same Block would not be reused for the next insert.
You should be using some other column for your ORDERed fetch.
