I was not thinking about that, but you are right: it would be much
simpler than dealing with the index directly. I did not consider that
because I was thinking to something like 'the destination folder will be
the *parent* of the moved folder'.

We would need a way to differenciate between 'changing the order' and
'move somewhere else'. I would favor something like two commands to
'move up' and 'move down' the folder while keeping the same parent.

Now, we must decide where to put a moved folder, if the new parent
already has some children. I would say it must be put last. Then it
could be moved up to the desired position.

That's what I thought about.

Fine. I guess I will deal first with local files, as that's what I use.

(except to check for the server being the same).
