Did you not get Peter's reply to the last time you asked this (yesterday)?

The killring rotates when you yank, so $killring[1] is always the
"active yank" and $killring[-1] is always the previous yank -- unless
you use a negative prefix (e.g., ESC - 1 before yank).

Presently (as I understand it from PWS's response yesterday), the only
way to "move the index" is to make a copy of $killring, rearrange it
however you want, and then assign it back via killring=(...).

Oliver may have additional insight.
