How do you change the movie order in iDVD?

I'm doing a video showreel and need to change the running order of movies that I'm using. My menu page lists the 4 movies in a vertical list, which is fine, except I'd like to move the last one up the running order in the menu.

I assumed you'd drag it, but that doesn't work. Can anyone help?

The buttons cycle through the order in which the clips were added to the menu. I suggest you start another project.

That's the conclusion I came to in the end. Weird it supports drag and drop only partially.

You can rearrange the positions of the buttons, but if you change the ORDER, you get unexpected results on playback.

You can drag the sub-item (movies) back into the parent item and it will place the item you dragged into it at the "end" (on the right looking at it in the top-down tree view.) You cannot put the first item on the end, but you can get around this by putting it into a child node and then back into the parent node.

Hope this makes sense...
