Guide
Click on the row number(s) on the left to highlight the entire row(s) you wish to move.
Hover your cursor over the border of the selected row(s) until it changes to a four-sided arrow icon.
Press and hold Shift, drag the row(s) to the desired position with the mouse, and release the mouse button before releasing Shift to drop them into place.
This method ensures that the moved row(s) are inserted into the new location without overwriting existing data.
