SQL table "Inside Order" - Identity VS CLUSTERED INDEX

Q: What will be the result order of a select (without ORDER BY) from a table - with/without Identity and CLUSTERED INDEX?
And when we will add Identity and/or CLUSTERED INDEX - how will this affect?

A: Follow the next selects:

create table dbo.NoID

       someDate datetime
) ON [PRIMARY];
