No, you can't do that - Word inserts a whole row, or adds a new cell to the existing row.

What you could do, if you're willing to have the sort order from right to left is to configure your document with a single-column table side-on in a landscape format (assuming you're now using portrait) using a multi-column layout and rotated text in the cells. Then, whenever you insert a new row, all the others will move to the new 'correct' positions. Even if you insert the new rows out of order, in this scenario Word's table tools can be used to re-sort them. See attached.

Note: all cells have borders, but you may not see them unless you switch to print preview.
