Q: Moving grouped slides in Light Table view

Is there a way to move grouped slides together in Light Table view? When I tried to do this, only individual slides were moved and it ruined the groupings when I went back to Navigator view.

MacBook Pro, OS X El Capitan (10.11.5), null

A:

I'm actually asking about the *grouped slides* not of simply moving multiple slides.

Yes I understood that, which is why I esplained with how fightable works.

 

The other option, which is the way I work, is to close the grouping in the Navigator by clicking the disclosure triangle, then and drag the group to the new position:

    select the slides to be moved by pressing the command key and clicking until they are selected (red, green and blue slides have been selected)

    click one of the selected slides then drag to the new position

    Thanks, Gary. I'm actually asking about the *grouped slides* not of simply moving multiple slides. I'll update my question with screenshots to hopefully clear up the question. Thanks again.

    Adding some screenshots:

     

    Slides in Navigator mode are *grouped* (see arrow)

    In Light Table view, there is no way to see the grouping and no way to move them together (unless I manually select them as Gary pointed out below). Moving single slides can get really confusing.
