WPF Grid: Is there an easy way to readjust the row items if I need to insert new rows?

wpf insert grid row

It appears that grid row and column definitions are hard-coded like this:

Grid.Row="3" Grid.Column="1"

I am in the middle of development on a new WPF app and I am having to constantly add and delete new rows from my grid as the client makes up their mind on how the form should look. I am discovering that this is quite a tedious task. If insert a row near the top, I have to manually change all the row indexes in the XAML beneath the row I just inserted.

Is there an easy way to auto-adjust all the rows?

In Visual Studio 2015 you can also hover over the edge of a row and a little dropdown box will appear. When you click the down arrow two of the options are "move row before" and "move row after". That's the best way I've found.
