Summary0004989: Duplicates Are Placed At Bottom Of Hierarchy Rather than Adjacent To The Item They Were Duplicated From
Description

Currently, in both the Navigator, and the Resources, when duplicating an Element or a Resource, Studio places the duplicate item at the very "bottom" of the hierarchy/list.

This can be a bit difficult to work with sometimes as it results in placing the duplicate far away from the item that it exactly resembles.
This also goes contrary to the standard in most Design software where duplicates are placed directly adjacent to the item they were duplicated from.

See attached videos showcasing both Studio's mechanism, as well as Photoshop's for reference. In Photoshop's case, ignore the duplications going 'upward' instead of 'downward' in Studio, as their hierarchy is in reverse order to Studio's. (Figma works identically to Photoshop)


Repro Steps:

1) Create a Studio Project featuring a MainPage.xaml, and place a 3 instances of the Button Element into the root Grid.

2) Navigate to the Resources Panel, and create enough Resources in GlobalResources so that they fill up the Resource Listing Panel.

3) Duplicate the Resource top-most in the Resources listing using [Ctrl+D].
Observe how the duplicate has been created at the very bottom of the Resources Listing, far away from the Item that was duplicated.

4) Select the 'topmost' (top of panel) Button present in the Navigator, and press [Ctrl+D] to duplicate it.
Observe how the duplicate has been created at the bottom of the hierarchy instead of adjacent to it.

Expected Results: Duplicates are created directly adjacent/below to the Resource or Element that was duplicated.
