IIRC informix doesn't have it, and you have to recluster periodically
the table. After having clustered the table with an index in order to
recluster the table with another index you have to release the previous
one ( ALTER index TO NOT CLUSTER ), the CLUSTER is an index attribute and
each table can have only one index with that attribute ON.
