Define what you mean by "the order they were entered by the user".

Very likely, what you have designed ito of db design and SQL design, do not come close to what you think it is.

E.g. do you consider an entry when the data set is put into edit mode by the user to add a new entry? Or when that data set is committed on the back-end? How many entries are there be transaction? Etc.

I'm hard pressed to find a why you want to have it ordered like that... What business requirement are you trying to satisfy?
