I think the problem I'm having is not knowing when something isn't visible. I will probably have to get my sighted husband to help me. The folder I want to move is at the very bottom of the list, about as far away from the favorites bar as possible. I get a consistent "not in view" message when I try to drag it, and I can't seem to move it anywhere else, either.
