Insert Requirement in the middle of a group of requirements?

In RRC how would a user insert a requirement in the middle of a group of requirements and have that requirement stay in the spot of creation?

For example:
A group of requirements was created. The requirements were written in the desired flow for all document consumers (including business partners, development and test). The requirements were reviewed and the team has determined that another requirement was needed. To keep in context with the rest of the requirements the new requirement must be inserted in the middle of the requirements group.

In RRC V3.0.1 the best way to control the position of a requirement is by using a document with embedded requirements. If a new requirement needs to embedded within a embed that is also possible - so you can have embedded requirements, within embedded requirements that is finally embedded in a document.

Using collections or grid views you could create a special string attribute, used with column sort, to determine the order, for example "1.0","1.1","2.0" but this is very manual and error prone.

For the next major release of RRC we are working on something called Modules, that will allow requirements to be structured with heirarchy. The recent milestone has a preview of our latest thinking
