I see how it may be usable. It's not supported now.
Database table is not a spreadsheet's sheet, so the order is defined
by current sorting, for given column, based on contents. Even if we
have this feature, placement of a new row would be kept until another
sorting or re-opening the table view. This my be the reason why I know
no software that supports the feature.

We have no wish reported for it.  Please report if you like and vote.

Yes, it has been available for a long time. But table is recreated
then from scratch without prior data.
We're collecting funds for this big development:

It's unsupported like the above.

This wish is reported, feel free to vote for it.
