#### Summary: When I use the arrange tool, it often swaps the position of objects instead of just aligning them nicely in a grid. #### Steps to reproduce: <!-- Describe what you did (step-by-step) so we can reproduce: --> - open Inkscape - create a few objects - click "arrange" (see attached video for details) #### What happened? Some of the objects were swapped around instead of just adjusted slightly and aligned in a grid. #### What should have happened? The objects positions should have been adjusted slightly and aligned, not swapped. I have attached a a video and an svg file where I want to arrange a few text objects. The objects are already placed roughly in numerical order across two rows and three columns. When I click arrange, I would intuitively expect it to simply adjust vertical placement of the "3" and "1" while keeping the order intact. However, when I click "arrange" it swaps the places of the "3", "4", and "5".  In the inkscape rocket chat, @nathanal wrote this explanation for what is happening: > ...the relevant function seems to be `sp_compare_x_position`. It does a comparison based on visual bounding boxes. If two bounding boxes "roughly" overlap, they are considered in the same row and they are compared by x value, otherwise they are compared by y value And submitted this video:  In additional, clicking arrange again keeps swapping tiles for a few rounds until it reaches a steady state where additional click does nothing.
