theDBguy is correct that normally you start questions in the technical forums. This is an introductory forum for new members. But it isn't a terrible thing to ask a question in the intro message. I ASSURE you it isn't the first time that has happened. The short answer to your question is that if you want something in a particular order then use an ORDER BY clause in the underlying query that is the form's .RecordSource OR use the ORDER BY property of the form.
