Moving tiles is messing up location of existing tiles on dashboard - how to stop this?

I've built up a dashboard that has many tiles. Adding a new tile or duplicating an existing tile adds the tile to the bottom of the dashboard. Often I want the new tile to sit further up the dashboard, but I move it (by dragging it upwards), it moves many of the other tiles within the dashboard out of place, which is super confusing and time consuming to correct afterwards. I end up spending time trying to figure out where the "moved tiles" originally were placed and which section they sat under.

I've created a "tramline" of empty space on the RHS of my dashboard so I can drag the tile up this empty column to make my way up the dashboard when dragging/dropping, but this only somewhat reduces what gets moved out of place.

Surely there's a better way? How do I move a tile without disrupting other tiles?

Did you manage to find a solution @maireads  

To add or change a new tile on the new dashboard UI is very painful, there is a risk of tiles getting rearrange automatically when you move the tiles around.  Is there a better option?

Unfortunately not @mps - it is a right PITA. I only edit my dashboards when I'm on my large screen, expand the dashboard to it's max size (or reduce magnify), keep the "tramline" up the RHS to move things up and down, but even this doesn't prevent things moving about.

 

I have one large dashboard that took a long time to build, that is now so corrupted that I can't even use it as the tiles have moved around and I'd need to revisit each of the underlying queries to see in which section they should sit. Beyond frustrating 😞
