Reply To: Make newly added pages appear right next to current page on spread by default?

No luck? Hope my question makes sense.
What I ended up doing is binding a keyboard shortcut to that “Allow Document Pages to Shuffle”.
Whenever I consider adding a page, I immediately hit that keyboard shortcut so the new page
appears where I want, directly to the right of the existing page.

A minor annoyance but thank you Adobe for the flexible keyboard shortcuts, it solves many problems.
