Default When items are stacked in lanes splitting makes them change order (video)

Does anyone know why this happens?

For example, numerous items are stacked vertically within one single track, but splitting one of those stacked items, causes the new (shorter) item to jump around vertically.

Should they not remain in the same order?

I will make a gif shortly.

As of REAPER v6.72, there is an option in Preferences/Appearance/Media item positioning to arrange overlapping media items in the order they were created, which may help keep this arrangement stable.

[edit] although, I don't think there's any reason not to fall back to the creation order for items that start at the exact same time -- we may make this change.

Thank you

Agreed this would be a good change, I think having an item with the same timestamp move away from it's sibling is needles
