Reorder parts in an Assembly

I am unable to reorder parts in any assembly.

From the literature, it looks like it should be as simple as selecting a part in the assmbly browser and dragging it to a new position, but when I select on a part and try to drag, it just shows me a symbol (circle with a slash through).

I have tried in several assemblies, making sure I am only trying to move parts around other parts, not into areas of the assmbly browser tree that would not be allowed.

Is this not even possible, or am I doing something wrong?

If you search this NG you will find that feature was lost with the
addition of another feature. We are waiting for its return.

That is a feature that was removed in release 6 to accommodate assembly
features.

Many of us have pointed out how much we miss this ability and we're
living in hope that it will be reintroduced in the NEAR future.

A workaround: make a pattern of all the parts selecting them in the order
you want them to appear inthe browser, then delete the pattern.
