It does not matter. In modern system with disk array and RAID technology, you never know where data are on disk and most often they are never contiguous.

Still though, there are benefits to be had from placing rows commonly accessed together in the same database block.

This can be done using a CLUSTER. This is not so popular any more, not least because it means more work for DBAs.

The other way is to rebuild your table periodically:
CREATE TABLE new_table AS
SELECT * 
FROM old_table
ORDER BY this_col


Depending on your situation - and the problem you are trying to solve - this may work great or not at all.
