If you would like to reorder the links, do so by grabbing the "handle" to the left of a link with your mouse and then dragging it to the desired position.
As you're reordering things, you'll get a message at the top of the screen saying that you have unsaved changes. This is normal.
When reordering is complete, click the Save button.
