Public bug reported: The icons in the new 17.10 dash side-bar can not be re-arranged. You can left-click and drag them sideways and then vertically to a new position, but when you un-click the icon snaps back to it's original position.
In Ubuntu 11.10 this apparently worked in gnome-shell: There are instructions and a short video animation here: https://askubuntu.com/questions/87629/how-to-drag-and-move-icons-in- the-gnome-shell-favourites-bar That animation shows the other icons moving out of the way so that the one being dragged has a place to land. But in Ubuntu 17.10 the other icons don't move at all. Even dragging to empty space below all existing icons does not work (the dragged icon still snaps back).
