logical file with reade

I'm reading a logical file with READE.
In which order the records with the same key field value will appear?
Is there a guaranty that the records with the same key field value will be read in a sequential order i.e. how they are situated in the physical file?

Regards,

Hi,
I hv a PF -File1 , upddta as following order
100 AAAA
101 BBBB
100 CCCC
102 DDDD
100 EEEE

I hv a LF-file2,without using any keywords like LIFO...
From RPG
Codings:
Ffile2 IF E K DISK
C *LOVAL SETLLfile2
C READEfile2 31
C *IN31 DOWEQ*OFF
C EMPCDE DSPLY
C EMPNAM DSPLY
C READEfile2 31
C ENDDO
C SETON LR

Then it wil read the sequential records with the same order oly as it is entered in PF-file1...
AS follows:
100 AAAA
100 CCCC
100 EEEE

Ok if i use LIFO in my LF-File2 then the records will be displayed as follows,
100 EEEE
100 CCCC
100 AAAA
