You need to move the whole *paragraph*, including its end. If you select only text *inside* a paragraph, and move it into some place inside another paragraph, it obviously will be added to that destination paragraph. Specifically, in the list 1. a 2. b 3. c ... when you want to move paragraph b before paragraph a, you need to select the b like this: 1. Move mouse to the left of the "2." 2. Press left mouse button, and select the paragraph by moving mouse down - release mouse when it's to the left of "3." 3. Now drag the selection up, dropping it when the cursor is to the right of "1." See this screencast. Note that the issue you reported is not a bug, but just a user error. Closing NOTABUG.

Note that there are also keyboard shortcuts to move whole paragraphs up/down (normally Ctrl+Alt+Up/Ctrl+Alt+Down); in case of lists, also moving with subpoints is available (normally unassigned, but available along with the former commands on the Bullets and Numbering toolbar, which pops up when you put cursor into the list).
