Duplicated artboard added after original one in the list
This is just a minor improvement but useful:
I'd like that, when I duplicate an existing artboard, the new one appears right below the duplicated one in the artboard list (and not at the top every time). Currently its a bit annoying having to always drag it down to either the end of the list or below the one I just duplicated.
I consider that this is a more common use case and more intuitive than always adding it on the top.
Thanks.

This is as designed, as we treat copy and paste differently than duplicate. Note that duplicate will duplicate your object or artboard in place in the Z-order, while copy and paste will paste it on top.

I totally agree with you @Elaine but it's not consistent with the current behavior of Adobe XD. As you said "duplicating" will maintain the z-order while "copying" will paste it in front. Now look how this works as of now:

2. http://saved.im/mtkwndqydhdr/screenshot2017-01-25at125836pm.pngI'm clearly "duplicating" but the z-order is not maintained.
_________________Now if I select an artboard by clicking on its name on the canvas view and ALT+drag I'm also performing a "duplicate" (and not a copy) and the z-order is maintained.
I hope you review this and consider it. Thanks.
