Junior Grade

Does anyone know what the rank 1st or 2nd lieutenant, junior grade, meant? I know it was used in both the Union and Confederate armies and that in the Navy a lieutenant (junior grade) was the equivalent to an army 1st lieutenant. But where did the lieutenant junior grade fit into the army's ranking system?
