Is the order conserved in a table from a VALUES clause?

Thanks for your input Larry - I totally get that relying on undocumented behaviour is not a good strategy!

The thrust of my argument now is that the current behaviour **should** be fixed **and** documented. 

If a programmer wants the values in the VALUES clause to have a different order, all they have to do is use a different order - so that, for example, ROW_NUMBER() will work as expected (or at least as **I** expect! :-)

Thanks again!
