Hi JD,

Yes, I know what you are talking about... I have included a note in the
documentation about it...

If you want to move the block such a long "distance" you can do a normal
edit of the block and change the block order manualy. Upon saving the block
all the remaining blocks will get renumbered automatically to reflect the
new changes...  That is why I keep a difference of 10 units between the
block order.  You can but a block in place 0-9 and all the others will
update automatically. I don't know if I describe it clearly, but I designed
it specifically to avoid that kind of a problem.

The way you describe is indeed very frustrating and annoying....
