      With the old pre-chrome Opera, if I wanted to change the order of bookmarks within a folder, I could just press and hold, then drag the bookmark up or down the list. Now when you press and hold a bookmark, you get a right-click menu. How do you change the order of a bookmark within a folder?

      Version:76.0.4017.177

        @whittaker You should be able to do it in the bookmarks manager page: opera://bookmarks

          @leocg Already tried that. You can edit and you can delete. Nothings moving,

              @leocg Nope. Tried that. All that happens is the next bookmark gets highlighted, whichever your direction.

              This is dumb.

              I could create a new folder and move all the bookmarks over one by one in the order I'm seeking, but every time I had a new bookmark I wanted near some others instead of adding at the end, I would have to do it all over again. Rather tedious and time-consuming,

                I have no problem dragging bookmarks on the opera://bookmarks page to order them how I want.

                  Ah!

                  I have a laptop/notebook/tablet with a removable keyboard. I was trying to drag bookmarks in tablet mode with my finger, but nothing happened. When I attached the keyboard and tried it in laptop mode using the pointer, it worked!
