Abstract
The subject technology provides for identifying an item being dragged over an application in which the items are arranged in a table in a first arrangement. The subject technology copies the first arrangement to generate a second arrangement that corresponds to an initial arrangement of the items when the item is identified as being dragged over the first application. The subject technology updates the first arrangement to reflect changed positions of the items in the table resulting from another item being inserted into the table. The subject technology updates the second arrangement to reflect changed positions of items. Further, the subject technology merges the updated second arrangement with the updated first arrangement to reconcile the changed positions resulting from the item being inserted into the table at the location with the changed positions resulting from the another item being inserted into the table.
