  { _id: 'i3', pos: 3 },
  { _id: 'i4', pos: 4 }
];
const received = moveInArray(list, {
  id: 'i1',
  to: 3,
  key: '_id',
  positionKey: 'pos'
});
const expected = [
  { _id: 'i0', pos: 0 },
  { _id: 'i1', pos: 3 }, // moved down
  { _id: 'i2', pos: 1 }, // moved up
  { _id: 'i3', pos: 2 }, // moved up
  { _id: 'i4', pos: 4 }
];
expect(received).toEqual(expected);
expect(received).not.toBe(list);
