Prior to 18.11, after submitting a barcode list to the batch deletion or batch modification tools, the results would be listed in the same order the barcodes were scanned.

These results now sort by barcode.

The main convenience lost here is the ability to relate the list on screen to a physical cart of books. If the list is in scan order, you can judge any given books's location on the cart based on how high or low it is in the list, and by what's around it. If the list isn't in scan order, then you have to skim through the entire cart to locate a specific item as there's no longer any relation between the list on screen and the physical order of the books on the cart.
