I guess you mean here "their position in the DOM tree".

If I'm getting it properly, this is more or less what's provided by
auto-placement feature.
If you have "grid-auto-flow: row;" (which is the default) and all the
items are auto-positioned, you'll have the behavior that you're
explaining when you add/remove items from the grid.

In case you want to experiment with it, auto-placement is already
implemented in Chromium/Blink (enabling the feature flag) and WebKit
Nightlies (using -webkit prefix).

Just my 2 cents,
