Echoing form data pre 5.7

Permalink
I am trying to echo form data by doing a PHP/mySQL script using the btFormAnswers database table.
I am having issues because the data is not in sequential order sometimes.
Instead of having the fields in order, i.e. 1, 2,3,4,5,6
it will be in 2,1,3,4,5 6 or 6,5,4,3,2,1

It makes it difficult to do a simple scour through the database.

Just wondering why this is so.....

Or, is there an easier way to echo parts of form data, I did look at a recent post, but it was about 5.7 and I am 5.6.

thanks for your help
