Sliding cursor/window to second display

Just upgraded to a MacBook Air M4 from an older MacBook Pro. I have a second 27" display that worked just find with the MBP. The MBA recognizes the second display (shows up in System Settings) but I cannot slide over the cursor or a window to the second display. What steps am I missing?

MacBook Air 13″, macOS 15.7

Never mind. It was wanting to slide over, just not in the direction I was trying. Changed the order of the displays and it's working fine now. To clarify: my second display is above my laptop, not to the side. I was used to sliding in one direction and the MBA was wanting to go the other way.
