I'm curious about this in 19, as well.
In MLB, it worked like this for the 2018 draft. The order inside each supplemental round is still determined by reverse order of standings, though:

If a team that loses a qualifying free agent is a revenue-sharing recipient, then the team -- if and only if the lost player signs for at least $50 million -- is awarded a compensatory pick between the first round and Competitive Balance Round A. If the player signs for less than $50 million, the compensation pick for the team comes after Competitive Balance Round B

As a result:
Supplemental First Round
31. Rays (compensation for losing Alex Cobb)
32. Rays (compensation for failing to sign 2017 draft pick Drew Rasmussen)
33. Royals (compensation for losing Lorenzo Cain)
34. Royals (compensation for losing Eric Hosmer)
35. Indians (compensation for losing Carlos Santana)

If a team that loses a qualifying free agent does not receive revenue sharing and did not exceed the luxury-tax salary threshold the previous season, it is awarded a compensatory pick after Competitive Balance Round B.

As result of that rule:
Supplemental Second Round
75. Cardinals (compensation for losing Lance Lynn)
76. Rockies (compensation for losing Greg Holland)
77. Cubs (compensation for losing Wade Davis)
78. Cubs (compensation for losing Jake Arrieta)
