Agreed that this is about a feature in Nautilus - but I think this is
something that had previously worked. Feel free to correct me on that
though. When a bookmark is dragged, a line appears between the two other
bookmarks it is dragged to, implying that it can be 'dropped' there.

Having done some more experimentation - I find that re-ordering is
actually possible but it just doesn't really work very well anymore. I
just managed to switch the position of two folders by moving a third but
the operation was erratic and difficult to control.

The rationale of being able to order bookmarks is that it's useful
having your favourite ones at the top, especially when using the gtk
"Open File" or "Save As" dialogues where it's a small window and you'd
have to scroll all the way down to find the desired bookmark.

I certainly agree that this is a wishlist bug - but it may also be a
very quick and simple fix for the Nautilus dev team so in my opinion
it's probably worth keeping it open in the interest of a high quality
user experience in the release.
