I have created a paradox table with a primary key. But I want to
use a dbgrid to display the table with the inserted order not
the key's order? I can't find any way to solve it. If you konw
please tell me how to do it.Thank you!

You could add another field to your table to hold/store the record's
sequence no and define a secondary index on that field. When showing
your dbgrid your app should set the table's IndexName property to this
new secondary index.

The new field could be either of autoincrement or (typically) longint
type. In the first case a new (and unique) value is created by the BDE
automatically each time a new record is appended (I personally use this
method without any problems, but problems are reported especially in
multiuser environments). In the latter case (which could be useful if
you've got lots of master/detail related tables) you have to keep track
of your recordID yourself.
