How can I get items in a Reminders List to Sort?

Nevermind that I'm ****** that Calendar lost it's To Do list, and that Reminders is unusable. How do I change the order of the list of reminders? It pre-sorts itself at random. After about 30 minutes of trying various trackpad/keyboard button combinations I got one item on the list to move. I can'r reproduce it to save my life.

The one time it worked I pressed my thumb on the trackpad, held down the fn button, and used my index finder to move the list item. Guess it only lets me do that once.
