That is dependent on their being a date of last posting or similar column in the
table.  If not then it depends.  Assuming the table is inserted into ONLY and
there have been NO deletes, then a simple 'select * from <table_name>' will
extract the data in the order that it was most likely inserted, though that is
NOT guaranteed.  If on the other hand there have been any deletes against the
table, your totally stuck.  There is no data that I know of in the data
dictionary that records when a row was inserted into a table.  Possibly, but
again no guarantee, logminer may be of assistance, if you've got the right
version of Oracle.

Sinardy,

  Try something like this... 

  INSERT INTO table_name (SELECT column_name FROM (SELECT column_name FROM
table_name ORDER BY time))
