auto_increment not in order

I created a table thus:

CREATE TABLE kontakter ( id INT NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT PRIMARY KEY, name VARCHAR(25) );

The column looks like this:

| id | int(11) | NO | PRI | NULL | auto_increment |

And it gives me this output when SELECT * FROM kontakter (here I removed all other columns than ID);

+----+
| id |
+----+
| 0 |
| 4 |
| 1 |
| 5 |
| 6 |
+----+

As you can see it's not in order and the number 3 is missing.
Can someone explain for me why this happens?

MySQL 5.1.41, Debian/Ubuntu.
Still a MySQL newbie.
