Keep grid batch entries in order user enters them for easy checking
I like to go back and check my gift entry. I usually add gifts to a batch alphabetically. I notice that when I do a batch now and save it, when I go back in, the entries are not in the order that I entered them in. When it's a lot of gifts, that makes double checking information more time consuming than it needs to be.

When a gift batch is approved (committed), the Grid View should retain a complete, read-only snapshot of the batch exactly as it was entered at the time of processing. While users may later edit gifts in Raiser's Edge NXT, the original batch should continue to display the original values and field entries for audit, validation, and troubleshooting purposes.
This would align more closely with Database View behavior, where users can reopen a committed batch and see the original data as it was entered, even if subsequent changes have been made to the gift records.

What is the order that RE applies after the Save?
I also noticed that the sort order changes after approval. This isn't good if anyone is doing a double check against a check log or the batch back up (stack or scan of checks and letters).
