Q: I’m having a difficult time dragging and dropping items to reorder them. Is there another way to do this?
A: Yes! You can also use keyboard shortcuts to move content.
Click on the Visibility drop-down menu of the item that you want to move. Then click the tab key until it highlights the up/down arrows and then click on the enter (or return) key. You will then be able to use the up/down arrow buttons on your keyboard to move the item.
When you have the item in place, click on the enter button and voilà! The item has been moved.
Tip: if you want to move an item into a folder, expand the folder first.
