FWIW, it seems to work correctly here on pan-git (pre-0.140, see my 
headers for the git commit ID).

0.136 is outdated, April 8, 2012.  The current release is 0.139, from 
June 30, 2012.  The changelog includes this for 0.138:

* Keep position on selected item on re-order. (Heinrich Müller, #443702)

So it would appear you need at least 0.138 if you want that feature back.

(If you decide to build from git, note that as of last nite anyway, 
current master/HEAD hasn't been building for a week or two.  You can git 
checkout the commit I'm running, however, and it should build and run 
fine.  Or remove the static keyword from the mutex declaration as 
discussed in the recent "Latest HOTFIX commit"... thread.  But I've 
simply been running an old commit and waiting for Heinrich to fix that, 
since he's already working on it.)
