I feel you; I recently had to change some things with my novel, and had to work around the fact that you can't really add episodes and slide them around. Depending on how high your view count is, I'd go for it regardless. The views overall won't be affected by it afaik. When I deleted one of my episodes to bring order into it all, my count for the novel overall remained the same.
Of course, that can't be said for the chapter itself, since it'll vanish when you edit. I think you need to balance pros and cons here a bit before making a decision;;
That's the one thing I really appreciated back on Wattpad: you can shift around your episodes on your "dashboard" there, changing their order; which makes it possible to add one in your draft, then slide it to the top of the project, and then publish it. Maybe that might be an option for tapas, as well? Who would we ask for that?
