After a call to DmInsertionSort or DmQuickSort, your deleted records will be
at the end of the database. If you call DmFindSortPosition, it's binary
search routine requires that the deleted records be at the end.
Those are the only data manager routines that care where the deleted records
are.
Thus, the Memopad code sort of makes sense; if it's keeping the database
sorted, it inserts new records before deleted ones. If not, it just leaves
the deleted ones where they are.
