You can get a grid to locate the active row on the firdst line with some code in a grid event like:

do while this.relativerow > 1
this.doscroll(1)
enddo

YOu could put this in the grid.refresh() to have the active row always start on top, or put it in the AfterRowColChange event to have it stay on top even after the user has clicked another row.
