The SYNCNUM() function returns the unique sequence number assigned to a row from the specified table. Each new row inserted into a table will be assigned a unique sequence number for that table. Even if the row is deleted later or if all the rows are deleted from the table, that number will not be issued again.

// Sorted "name" and "paid date" order with the unique row sequence number.
