Description
### Search before asking
- [X] I searched in the [issues](https://github.com/apache/incubator-paimon/issues) and found nothing similar.
### Motivation
By default, batch sink should sort the input by partition and sequence_field to avoid generating a large number of small files. Too many small files cause poor performance, especially object storage.
We can not implement `SupportsPartitioning.requiresPartitionGrouping`. we need sequence.field to sort, otherwise we can't confirm what the last record is.

Research direction
Start by locating the batch sink path and reading the SupportsPartitioning.requiresPartitionGrouping contract, then trace how sequence.field is handled. Define the expected partition and sequence ordering behavior and identify focused batch-sink tests to verify it; the issue names no files or tests, so the implementation entry point must be located first.
