ID column added to Adjustments

In Adjustments setup, the ID for the adjustment was hidden from view. This was added to accomodate the above importing of Metadata Adjustments.

The ID will be incremental numerical id's and should not be confused with the sort code. These numbers may or may not be the same. In the above example, the sort was never changed and they are just sorted in the order in which they were entered. I could re-sort this list into another desired order, which would change the sort numbers, but not the ID's.
