I modified the example a bit and made the undesired behavior unclear.

* foo
:PROPERTIES:
:ID: a
:END:
* bar
:PROPERTIES:
:ID: b
:END:

Folded, this looks like

* foo...
* bar...

With point on the f in foo, press C-c C-x C-w.  With point on the b in bar,
press C-c C-x C-y.  Results in

* bar
* foo...

Unfolded, this looks like

* bar
* foo
:PROPERTIES:
:ID: a
:END:
:PROPERTIES:
:ID: b
:END:

I would expect C-c C-x C-y to work like C-RET rather than M-RET, that is to
always append after the heading and body rather than splitting it.
