When I do an interactive SQL session (STRSQL) on a keyed logical file, and
SELECT *, the list of records returned is not in keyed order.  I do not use
an ORDER BY, because I was thinking that the use of the logical file
provides the "keyed" view of the physical file it is based on.  Is there
some other keyword required with the SELECT statement which forces the key
sequence of the logical file to be used when listing the records?  Or must
the ORDER BY be used even for a keyed logical file?
