Thanks for the patches. Unfortunately we do need sorting on the *client side*, 
which means sorting records that may not be in the database yet, or whose 
values for the "sorted column" may have changed since they were loaded.
The user needs to be able to see in real time the effect of all the local 
changes to the lines, before pressing the Save button.

The patches you sent seem to add an extra non-SQL-backed sorting system on the 
server-side for honoring sorts on non-SQL-backed fields (function fields), but 
the sorting does not actually happen on the client-side.

We would need to do something similar but in the web layer, and that would 
presumably take care of sorting non-SQL fields too. But it really needs to 
operate on the local temporary lines stored on the client.
