My iMac is possessed!
I am trying to move some pictures around within an album. I do not have any "Sorting" option selected. When I move one (or more) pictures, then adjacent pictures are moving!
It's weird and totally unexplainable (by me). Here is a link to a small screen recording to demonstrate

I see it now. The first move just looks like the photos rearranged themselves in their original order but the second did show to additional photos moving up.
As a test launch Photos with the Option key held down and create a new, test library. Import some photos and test to see if the same problem persists. Does it?
If it doesn't it's limited to your current library so that would warrant a repair of the library as follows;
1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down to open the First Aid window. Be sure to follow the circled recommendation in the screenshot.
2 - apply Option #4, Rebuild Database.
If it does, log into another user account on your Mac and see if the problem persists there.
If it still persists boot into Safe Mode, Mac OS X: Starting up in Safe Mode, and try from there.

That's expected because your're doing a manual sort and when you move a photo to a new position the photos behind that photo move to accommodate it.
That’s not it at all. Watch the video. I move one, all the others adjust and then ANOTHER one moves on it‘s own. I demonstrate it twice.
Photos are moving themselves within albums
