Deleting or adding a firewall rule may result in an unexpected rule order
100%
Description
There seems to be an issue with firewall rules being re-ordered after using the red (multiple) "Delete" button, even when only a single firewall rule was deleted with it.
- 1.png = 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10
- 2.png = (* is rules selected) 1,2*,3,4,5,6,7*,8,9,10
- 3.png = (after delete) 8,9,10,1,2,3,4,5,6
- 4.png = 3 is deleted using the delete button on the rule line itself (rule order doesn't change)
- 5.png = (* is rules selected) 8,9*,10,1,2,4*,5,6
- 6.png = (after delete) 10,1,2,5,6,8
- 7.png = (* is rules selected) 10*,1,2,5,6,8*
- 8.png = (after delete) 1,2,5,6
- 9.png = (* is a single rule selected) 1,2*,5,6
- 10.png = (after delete) 5,6,1

This regressed after the fix for https://redmine.pfsense.org/issues/15935 which added the call to filter_rules_sort() which exposed the reported issue.
This should be fixed with c181ebe180017116626da28f30407a1da3cba061.
Note that the issue only applies when MIM is not running/disabled.

- Set up 4 rules on each interface - Ethernet, Floating, WAN, and LAN - with a separator between rule 2 and 4.

with above patch applied (on 24.11) and MIM disabled, deleting multiple firewall rules by selecting desired rules and using the delete button does not appear to have any adverse effect on the existing order of the remaining rules.
