Visual Studio 2013 introduces a nice feature that moves the selected code block up and down. This feature was often required for code movement or refactoring code, as for example, selecting a block and moving it into a method quickly. Here is the good news for XAML developers; Moving the code block up/down also supports in XAML code editor.

You can use ALT Key and UP / Down Arrow to move the code block up and down.

Alt + Up Arrow Key – Move the selected Code Block / Line Upwards
