They used to stay in position then they changed it to the current format. At first, it drove me nuts as well. However, if you look carefully,they always move in a certain way/direction. So, for example, if you have pieces

12845 then you want to put number 3 where you currently have number 8, you will get 123845. Just move eight two places to the right and you have 123458.

I know it isn’t quite that simple because they move diagonally as well. But they move in the direction from which you are coming. So, if you move a piece ten places up, the nine you have dislodged will need to go back up. I hope that makes sense. What I am saying is,really look a few times and you will see what I mean. Once you have grasped that, it should make it a little easier. I still sometimes lose sight of my own advice but 99% of the time, I can now do it first go.
