Sorting? I might have expressed myself wrong.
I'm not concerned about sorting.
I'm concerned about giving rows in a single table an unique, sequential 
numbered ID
based on a sequence per project (as in a serial counter, as in 'create 
sequence specific_project_sequence;')
e.g.
rows related to project A get a number from sequence A
rows related to project B get a number from sequence B

Is it clear now, or is it me who's not understanding what you're saying?

Sorry for the confusion.
