Moving a shared list

I added a shared list to my page. It will only let me have it as a main bullet point. I want to move it under something else. Is there a way to do that?

  Hi Lee,

  Are you on desktop or mobile?

  Have you tried dragging and dropping the bullet itself?... or one of the keyboard shortcuts from the menu that you can find when you hit the Ctrl+? shortcut?

  Of course. Is that supposed to work? If anything I tried had worked, I wouldn't have gone through all the trouble of setting up an account just so I can ask. How is it supposed to work?

  You can drag and drop a bullet like you drag and drop files on your desktop. With a mouse... Click to grab the bullet and drag. With a touch pad, depending on your configurations: tap, tap hold > drag. 

  You can drag a bullet anywhere... you can also drag it under another list, whether collapsed or expanded, and the list slots into place. I guess you have to tinker to practice/ figure it out...

  Hit Ctrl+? to see a list of keyboard shortcuts to use for moving your lists.

  As I said, I had done this. Yes, I know how it works. Yes, I can drag and drop any other bullet point over. Yes, I can drag the shared list point up and down. I just can't move it over. If it's supposed to, it's not. If it's not, it would be helpful if it could.

  Hi Lee,

  I guess I'm confused about where you'd like to "move it over". Would you explain with a screenshot? Keep in mind that you can't drag shared lists into other shared lists. This is a limitation. Either way, I'll need to see visually what you're asking about. Thank you for your patience! I know you've so wanted to move your shared list under and over...

  Hi Frank, even if this conversation is some years ago I have the same problem. I would like to move a shared list, which isnt allowed. The list, where I would like to drop the shared list is not a shared list itself. Is there a possibility to drag and drop (I know the commands and drag and drop with a mouse). thx, Alexis
