Yes, they’ll be reordered. Technically, they’re all related to each other 
anyway. If a single real world event happens, recording it in various pairs of 
debits and credits is just an artificial division. A case can be made that it 
really is a single transaction.

If one really needs to see the debits and credits in pairs, you could use some 
sort of tagging or prefix system in the memo field, or use the Action field of 
each if not otherwise needed.

So you could have something like:

Action  Memo            Account Debit   Credit
A       Something       xxx     100
B       Else            yyy     50
A       Another         zzz             100
B       Thing           aaa             50
