It's always kinda annoyed me that the CLUSTER command in Postgres
doesn't work like it does on Microsoft SQL.

It's a natural side-effect of MVCC, unfortunately. Data goes wherever it goes according to the free space map, or at the end if there are no free blocks in the table.

I guess that's one thing rollback segments are good for. In-place modifications of data so order can be maintained.
