Primary keys are written in ascending order.

For most indexes, it makes sense to reset the selectivity after
loading records because Firebird doesn't maintain selectivity
dynamically. For unique indexes and the indexes created to
support unique and primary key constraints, the selectivity is
known in advance, so you don't need to reset it.


Good luck,
