Understood. The reason it matters to me is that my recurring transaction is
_almost_ identical, but not exactly - several values tend to fluctuate by a
few pennies every month.  This means that I end up having to play
hunt-the-split, whereas if the order was preserved I could use that to
quickly zero in on the changed value.

But it sounds like this is just the way the cards have been dealt, so maybe
I'll file an enhancement request on the bug tracker and go on with my
life.  Thanks!
