Changes categories and ranking

[RoryHarvey]

If I change one of my apps' categories, does it instantly jump to its equivalent position in the new category or will it have to work its way up the chart again from the bottom?

IE imagine my app is in category A and has sold enough to reach #17 in that position, but would be #5 if it were in category B. Would it jump straight to #5 if I changed it to category B?

Some people tried this method before and it changes to the equivalent rank. I've never tried it myself, but here are some links that can help:

Does your rank carry over when you change category?
