I'm trying to re-organize a project that has gotten a lot of objects stuck in the wrong layers.

For some reason when I select a group of objects and try to move them to another artboard my paste in place command does not move them to the new layer I select. If I try a standard paste operation and choose to re-align the object I find that it also does not paste to the correct layer.

My layers are all visible and not locked. Grouped/ungrouped objects have same behavior.

Has my project corrupted or is this something simple I don't know about?

Be certain to deselect everything - Command+Shift+A (Mac) or Ctrl+Shift+A (Win) - and then highlight
the layer you want to paste onto before pasting in place. If you have objects selected when pasting, the paste command uses the top-most layer with a selected object.
What plainclothes posted, be certain "Paste Remembers layers" is
not checked in the Layer Panel flyout menu.

Check the Layer panel fly-out menu. There is an option for "paste remembers layers". Could that be your problem?
