Move Tabs on Taskbar

OK. Then try >Panel >Panel Preferences >Items >Window Buttons >Sorting order >select >none allow drag and drop. That should do it.

Yes it does. Just tested it.

You are the best!

I'm accustomed to being able to move open apps on the taskbar to other locations. I like to have open apps in a familiar order every day. Since I've been able to do that in other distros, and since I saw the cursor change when I tried to drag a running app to another location on the taskbar, it seemed to me that I ought to be able to do that here, since it seemed to be built-in, since the cursor was changing. But apparently that's not the case. I was hopeful, but no cigar, I guess.

Thanks, everyone, for your responses and information. Resolved, but not for my purposes.

It's not the default setting but it is provided for in XFCE and as I said it's in the >Window Buttons>Sorting Order setting drop down menu as >none allow drag and drop. Which applications you prefer to have open automatically after booting can be set in >Session and Startup> by saving your session with your chosen applications started,  or adding them to ~/user/.config/autostart/ with a [Desktop Entry] script.
