It's easy to reproduce. Make two dummy directories with a load of
dummy files in each and drag files back and forth for a while. Within
20 or so you should get an instance of one jumping to the bottom of
the list instead of going where you dropped it and where the I beam
indicated it would go.

Can you produce a screencast demonstrating the problem? I can't
reproduce your bug on my WinXP SP2 machine.

I think to remember that Windows tends to show just-recently-modified
files at the end of the list. So if you copy (or move between
different logical disks) largish files, it might happen that while
copying is still in progress, the file's name might be moved to the
end of the list in explorer.

I'm a dedicated windows-hater, but frequently notice that I still
know it better than most self-entitled windows-lovers/experts.
