If MySQL 5.6 or later, this index should not be necessary. MySQL 5.6 will be able to take advantage of that any InnoDB index contain the primary key. Hence, the
existing index on grid_id should be sufficient.

A very good idea! As you say, using this statement, the index scan will be separated from the base table look-up. Very smart!

In this case, I do not think sorting the IDs would make any difference. Since one is looking for rows with a single grid_id index, the rows will be accessed in primary key order both when grid_id index is scanned and when a table scan is used.

Another question is where the primary keys used in the NOT IN expression comes from. If those are collected from a different query, may be that query could merged into the delete statement using either a join or a sub-query. That could give better performance than pulling the primary keys into the client in order to build the delete statement.
