Single word for "the act of passing possession and linear position to"

Question

OLD TITLE: Single word for “moving an element of an order into another order at the same place?”

Something similar to the word move would do the trick.

Imagine that I was talking about people (element) in a line (order)

"I moved Person A out of Line 1 to Line 2"

Now, this is nearly what I am looking for, except there is one other thing I need the verb to do, which is to emphasize the fact that it was moved to a corresponding place within the line/array.

To say this using the word "move" I would have to say:

"I moved Person A out of Line 1 at Line Position Alpha to Line 2 at that same position (Line Position Alpha)"

that is to say, I recorded Person A's place in line, took him out of Line 1, and had him cut in line at the position I recorded, so he doesn't "loose his place in line."

The purpose of this word is to name a small section in a computer program that I am building. The program has these things similar to lines (called arrays), things similar to people in a line (called elements), and things similar to line positions (array indeces).

So, conclusively, what is the technical-term/word I am looking for?

AUTHOR's NOTE: I also posted this question on stackoverflow with a more-programming-emphasized side of the question here: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/39609019/word-for-moving-an-element-into-another-array-at-a-corresponding-index

ANOTHER NOTE: As Paul R mentioned in the comments, I could use "extract (from)" and "insert (at)," but this would be a disfavor as I need both the "from" and "at" to be emphasized single-wordedly, because it will be used in a name, and lengthy names are well, just not efficient nor effective.

The name will be structured like "The Move-ment Process"

Answer 1

I would use lateral transfer though the phrase seems to have been usurped wholly by the HR domain for use in the context of employee "promotion" without change in salary.

There is a use of the phrase in science, engineering and technology as well.

Answer 2

splice is the verb you're looking for. It covers moving contiguous sets of items between lists (your programming application) as well as genetic sequences, film, etc.
