Yes. You have a rectangle, five columns, six rows let's say.
As you add items to the table, you have to constantly move other items downwards, to maintain the alphabetical, or chronological arrangement.
"Insert" in other words, does not automatically shift forward items already in the table. "Delete" does not automatically shift items backward in the table.
You really have to be familiar with the table structure to understand what I'm saying. If you've never worked with tables before in-wiki you won't understand my point.

I think you're not properly describing the class of problem.
If you add another row to a table, all the other rows do move down. That's good behavior.
If you add a column to a table, you have to remember to add it to all the other columns as well. That's because the table structure we have (which is simply syntactic sugar over HTML, which has a similar behavior) knows nothing about the relation between rows.
Is this what you mean?
Or are you trying to do something else?
This would be well illustrated with a real example.
