Comment:

 To the original reporter, a trick I use to get around this, is create a
 "tmp" group folder, and when needing to organize your layers, move
 anything to be moved into the "tmp" folder.  Then collapse and move the
 "Tmp" folder around instead to the point where you need specific layers,
 then move them out.  Kind of like a shopping cart in a grocery store
 thing.

 Per my duplicate bug of #1808, you have to drag stuff slowly, or you will
 cause the sequencing in the layer order to get muddled up, as QGIS will
 randomly move items to other areas in the stack.

 Flagging more as a bug, because while one indicates an enhancement, the
 disordering of the stack if you move items too fast highlights a flaw in
 how QGIS is handling some actions.  It behaves better if you disable
 rendering while moving the folders, but even then, if you go too fast,
 items still "jump" around.
