Using splice with Breeze without setting linked properties to null

Question

For some reordering code I call splice on an array of Breeze entities. Generally this works fine, but on removing an entity using splice from the array, its navigation properties are set to null. After adding the same entity back into the same array on a different position, navigation property seems to be restored, but the entityState has already changed to modified.

The responsible code seems to be this call.

Is there a way to move an entity in an array of entities to a different position without having the entityState to be changed?

As responded by in a GitHub issue: Workaround is to use a temporary standard array instead of an observable array, process the arrays using splice in the temporary array and write them back to the observable array.
