Reorganize within a chest in MCPE
I'm playing Minecraft Pocket Edition on my old iPad, but I'm wondering if there is a way to organize stuff within a chest. I'm not asking about how to categorize the different chests, but how to reorganize stuff within a given chest.
I.e. within a Stone chest, I would like for the Cobblestone to be in a given row, or possible to move to a given row, and the Gravel to be elsewhere. Similarly for tools I would like to group the Pickaxe's, Sword's, and so on.
I know I can use other random items as fillers, but that is really tedious work, and I would much rather have a way to move from one block/space within the chest to another block/space in the same chest. Preferably without having to intermediately store it in the inventory.
My version of MCPE is 0.14.3 on iOs, and if answers are version related please state, if known, which version the answer applies to or from.

Since 1.0 (I believe), the new "classic" inventory (in the video section of the settings) allows for people to drag items around in chests.

How do you organize your chest in Minecraft?
Chests cannot open with a block on top (except transparent blocks like torches, glass, slabs, and other chests). You can place upside down stairs or half slabs to change this. If you have room, you may want to place signs or item frames next to, above, or on the chests to label them and make categorizing easier.How do you move things in your inventory in Minecraft PE?
To put an item in your chest, you need to move items from your inventory into any of the top boxes in the Chest menu. In this example, we have moved our 2 coal, 3 oak planks, 3 sticks, and 7 cobblestones into the chest. They will no longer be part of your inventory.How to Organize All Items in your Storage Room for 1.18 Minecraft!

Here is a quick and easy way to organize in rows, yet it only works with stack-able blocks:
The player in the image above has sorted the blocks into rows and placed one of that same block in each empty space of the row. This allows the player to quick move any blocks he wants to add to the chest without worrying about them becoming disorganized.
