default ordering of query result - are they always guarantee - Mailing list pgsql-general

I have the following table :

        CREATE TABLE measurement_1
        (
          measurement_id serial NOT NULL,
          fk_unit_id int NOT NULL,
          "value" double precision,
          measurement_type text NOT NULL,
          measurement_unit text NOT NULL
        );

When I want to retrieve the query. By default, the query result are ordered in ascending order, by using
measurement_id.

SELECT measurement_type, value, measurement_unit
    FROM
    measurement_1

This is the default behavior I want. However, I am not sure whether this is always guarantee? Or shall I explicitly
makethe query in the following form? Will this have performance impact on row with millions? 

SELECT measurement_type, value, measurement_unit
    FROM
    measurement_1 ORDER BY measurement_id ASC

Thanks.

by ensuring measurement_1 result are ordered in ascending
Thanks and Regards
