When processing images in LR6 sometimes the processed image will shift to the end on the panel; sometimes it stays where it is adjacent to the unprocessed image. If it shifts to the end of the panel and I click on it to copy sometimes it stays where it is and sometimes it moves back to where it started in the panel. There seems to be no rhyme nor reason. Help please.

I don't understand what you are meaning, could you provide some screen shots of the problem.
But first start with which version of Lightroom and your Operating System...
Tell us also what is the Sort setting here

You probably have your sort set to EDIT TIME/ASCENDING in Library which transfers to the filmstrip in Develop Change it to something else.

I am using Windows 7 and LR6. In the library mode my lower panel looks like this:

You're currently in Loupe view. Do View > Grid to go to grid view, and then you'll see the the Sort option in the toolbar at the bottom. Set it to Sort: Capture Time or Sort: Filename. (See the View > Grid menu for the keyboard shortcut.)

You can see the sorting options in Loupe view too if you turn the option ON in the RIGHT dropdown list.

I see the options in the dropdown menu but what do I do with it and why do I get different positions for the processed images, some staying in the alignment and others all moving to the end of the line?

Your Sort: is set to something other than Capture Time.

When I go to "view" and then to "sort" I am set for "capture time" at the top and "ascending" at the bottom of that drop-down list.

Perhaps I am not making myself clear as it seems my settings are where you say they should be. At times when I process an image the processed image and the unprocessed image sit side by side in the sequence where it started. At other times the two images shift to the very end on the lower panel. If, at that point, I decide to copy the settings on that last image to use on the upcoming image the two images may stay at the end or they may shift all the way back to their original position. And it seems unpredictable:sometimes they stay at the end, sometimes they shift to the middle. I would prefer that all processed images stay in their starting location in the panel and not shift to the end but I don't know how to make this the standard setting. Make sense?
Here the images sit in their starting position:
And here you can see that they have all shifted to the end on the panel:
Do you see my problem?

If Lightroom behaves for you like it does for me, whenever I import new images Lightroom always changes the sort order to, "Added Order". I like to work with, "File Name" order. When I have it in my preferred order the images remain together as I expect them to be. If I forget and let Lightroom switch then images end up at the end of the film strip. Is this what could be happening to you? I always have to remember to change the sort order after I have imported new images.

Jim, where does the change in order made by LR show up and how do I change it to "file order?"

One thing that could be confusing the issue: Some of the photos in your screenshots are in expanded stacks. LR always sorts expanded stacks by the top image in the stack, with the other images in the stack immediately following.

John, I am sure that is part of my problem. I will have to review stacks to see if I can learn how to avoid whatever it is that I am doing that fouls up the image sequence.
