Windows 10: Why do things in the Start Menu move around on their own? I've tried sorting and having...

Is this just a thing with Win7? At first I thought if I sorted them alphbetically they would stay put. Nope. One keeps on moving. Its an .ods file if that makes any difference. No other file moves. I've tried having it sorted and unsorted. No matter. It moves. I know its not important, just irritating when your system has Amnesia.
