19d shown cleared score sheets: d-e-t-d, but letters including an s or an n are jumbled

I can't really understand what the principle is in moving the n and the s in the down clues - is it random? any hints gratefully received

19d Denoted, but input as dnetoted

The words are still in the same letter order with the exception of the s and n in each of the down answers.

You can work out the place for the s and n letters  simply by using the crossers to guide you, 

For instance Champagne the crossers are C? A?P?A?E

Therefore the first 5 letters have to be Champ but the A is lower, therefore the N has to go between the P and the A

 

Sorry Dneoted!

Technically if N is on the top and S is in the below answer, they repel and both move away from each other. If S is on the top and N in the below answer, they attract each other.

In practice move the Ns Northwards and the Ss southwards, no need to understand magnets
