The current logic for moving items around while sorting works by swapping the sorted item with the one above/below it. This works for most cases since the user is usually moving down one-by-one, however it breaks down if they move down quickly, causing the element to skip multiple positions. In this case the element would swap its position with the end item, rather than shifting an entire slice of the list. These changes rework the logic so it can handle these location skips correctly. It's also a prerequisite to being able to limit how far from the element sorting should work.
