Moving menu items

The easiest way to change the order of items in the menu bar or in a drop-down or cascading menu is to drag the item you want to move and drop it where you want it to be. You can drag items within the same level in a menu structure or to another level. For example, you can drag an item in the menu bar to a drop-down menu or an item in a cascading menu to the menu bar.
