"so now you know how the table looks like"

Unfortunatly that's not correct, there is now way to know where the record is stored in the database as they are not inserted in a sequencial order (often rows are stored this way but any number of reasons can mean the rows are moved around).

There isn't really a way to do what you want, mainly because the data and example you present don't really represent a useable data set.

In summary position means nothing in an rdbms, you need to use a key of some sort and order by to have any control on the order of data.
