In battlegrounds, at the beginning of combat it will move your minions before the battle starts, even after I have set them the way I want them. This is not suppose to be happening at all. It does it sometimes but not all the time. This is either a bug or someone is cheating. This is a deal breaker for me because sometimes it causes me to lose the match or game if there is just four or less players left in the battlegrounds. Will you please look into this issue and get it fixed? It really has become a nuisance. Thanks! A long time hearthstone player, with others in the family playing as well.

I have seen it happen as well. It’s very unnerving. But when I watch the battle, my minions often attack in the correct order. I have not paid close attention to every fight, but I think it might just be a visual bug
it is only a visual bug

It is a visual bug, but it’s still extremely disconcerting.
I have confirmed that it’s visual based on cases where a minion does something to adjacent minions, and even when the shuffle moves minions away from their position, the effect still hits the two minions that I had positioned as adjacent, before the shuffle happened.
Can confirm Ive experienced the same issue and same bug. it is always happening to me with my deathrattle I need to die right away somehow gets moved from 1st position to elsewhere. many times into 7th. and seeing it swing at the enemy first is very jarring lol.
It’s a visual bug and I reported it weeks ago. They’ve had three patches since then and still haven’t fixed it. The minions still get buffed and attack based on the way you set them up.
It makes for a very unpleasant moment in the game. Blizzard is more concerned about selling portraits and boards than fixing issues affecting so many. 
It’s not as visual bug because I had my persistent poet set up so where it was rearranged and the dragon it was originally next to did not keep its stats that it received in battle.
It would be nice to have a screenshot and more details on what happened. 
It’s not someone who cheats, that’s for sure.
It’s the game but we should know if it changes something for the fight or not (it’s hard to know).
