Hello everyone,

After having stumbled over

    https://emacs.stackexchange.com/questions/32144/org-mode-org-move-subtree-down-function-strange-behavior

I also think the behavior of org-move-subtree-down is strange.

What about pulling out the dance with the whitespace from
org-move-subtree-down and just move the subtree as it is?


Best regards
            Marco

There's at least a minor issue. I you like to separate your heading with
N spaces, you must keep N blank lines at the end of the buffer at all
time. Granted, the current implementation requires the same thing before
the first headline, but those are easier to see and maintain.

Intuitively, I would say the current behaviour is better, but feel free
to provide a patch so we can test the other way.

Regards,

Agreed.  This is a point.

Possibly one could write some kind of formatter to maintain a certain
scheme to separate subtrees with N blank lines.

I still propose to let org-move-subtree-down simply just move the
subtree as it is.  Concretely see the patch.


Thanks for giving it a chance and best regards
                                              Marco

I think this new behavior is more predictible, I applied your patch,
thanks a lot!
