I haven't had any direct deposit clients on 2019 yet however I have a 2018 client using the 2.19.4 payroll which should be the same between 2019 and 2018.
They have done payrolls for close to 200 employees and have reported no problems with banks accepting ACH files.
I suspect the order has something to do with the new underlying employee keys. If the client used employee names to define their employee numbers that would tend to keep them in alpha order whereas the employee keys would not..
