   To reiterate:  in my (and possibly the OP's) particular use case,   
   retaining the physical ordering of lines is an absolute business   
   requirement (the client's customers demand it, and we can't demand   
   they change their relevant processes).  In other contexts (e.g. all   
   your orders go through EDI), it may well be reasonable to discard   
   physical ordering in this fashion.
