You example is confusing.

If a user can never change the position of Record 4 ahead of Record 3 (as is the case in your example) what purpose does priority serve.

If you had said that the outcome you wanted was:

Record 1 from 3 to 10
Record 2 from 10 to 20
Record 4 to 30 <-*********
Record 3 from 20 (should 15, Destination between record 2 and record 3)) to 40 <-*********
Record 5 to 50

Then that would have made sense.

Please clarify, the problem domain does matter to the solution.
