Better method to reorder items (mixer effects, Harmor)

Hi, it's recently come to my attention that the method used to reorder items in effect slots, as well as reordering modules in Harmor settings, is flawed and there's a better way about it.

The issue comes when you move an item to the end and it "wraps" around to the beginning. The current method swaps the item you're moving at the end with the item at the beginning, so although you got the item to move where you wanted it, now your previously top-most item is at the end, which is weird. It effectively rotates the entire list every time you move one item all the way down and around back to the beginning, which isn't useful.

The better method would be that when the item reaches the end, it's then "inserted" into the top position and the rest of the items are shifted down. This way the ordering is preserved relative to the item you're moving, and if you move it all the way around to the beginning the list will remain in the original order.

I realize it may not seem like a big deal, but basically you might as well not let reordered items wrap around to the beginning at all with the current behavior as it just messes up your ordering.
