Rearranging icons on the desktop.

Hi everybody.

So I updated to 26. It put my external drive at the bottom of the list on the desktop, it used to be right after "Macintosh HD". How do I put it back there? I've tried dragging with VO-comma and VO-less than, and cmd-shift-VO-space, moving with VO-arrows, and hitting cmd-shift-VO-space again. That put a copy of something else into the drive I'm trying to move. It wont' be the end of the world if it stays this way, but I do hit that drive the most, so it would be nice to get it back that way, if it's possible.

But if somebody can explain the process, I'd still love it, because I'm not sure *how* I got it to work. I highlighted, hit VO-comma, then went to Mac HD, and either hit VO-right, right arrow, or both in succession, and it put the external drive right after Mac HD. So it was really entirely accidental. The time before that when i tried, it said I was trying to copy a thing that was already there, and did I want to replace it? I did not, so I stopped the operation.
