Inability to move Web Parts

I have a Web Parts(Excel Viewer) currently above a RIch Forms part. I would like to move the Excel web part to be below the Rich Forms part, however I am unable to do so. I can see a drag icon when I hover over the sections, trying to do so just highlights the rest of the page.

 

I was able to accomplish this somehow, but it was entirely accidental and occured when I added a sublist to the RIch Forms section.

 

Am I missing something? There has to be a way to move the Web Parts around within the main section so they are above or below the other things in that section...

  As a followup, I believe I am doing this using the Rich Forms editor as opposed to the Modern Forms editor.

  Found the solution.

   

  Eiting the Web Part using the drop down on the top right of each Web Part will give you an expandable window in the top right. In the Layout section, there is a "Zone Index" option which can be used to order the items on the screen.

  James Pierce this is correct. Moving webparts was only possible back in Internet Explorer. In Chrome and FF it was never possible, as well in oob SharePoint.

  But the option you figured out using the "Zone Index" is the preferred way.

   

  Kind regards
