Datagrids assign a unique dgIndex which stays constant for each line after they're sorted but I don't recall any automated way to sort by it. Maybe you could just add a column to the input after you read it from your file with an incrementing number in it so it would end up as a column in the datagrid (hidden if you prefer it that way).
