As the others here have noted, it's possible to create a group such that
it won't be ordinally last.
Instead, you can take advantage of a convention the engines uses with
reasonable consistency in which the local variable "it" will contain the
long ID of a new object immediately after it's been created, e.g.:
create grp; put it
