This is especially true if I sort it by the number (which is what I like to do to make it easier to balance the checkbook at the end of the month).  I thought maybe I had a hidden character in the number field that was causing the problem, but I cleared the field out and re-entered the number and there is no change.  I am attaching a screen shot of my register sorted by number and you can see that the go along OK for a while, then they get out of sequence.

Weird...  But yes, it's clearly doing something wrong.  I don't know
what it's doing wrong, I can't tell just from the picture.  And I
probably wouldn't be able to reproduce it myself without access do your
data file.   I doubt it's something fixed in 2.3.x but you never know.
