How to move a bookmark folder in Safari?

I had my bookmarks sorted alphabetically. But somehow a folder containing many web addresses called Bridge has moved and become attached to the bottom of one called Birding, as a sub-folder. And I can't seem to put it back. I have tried moving it within the sidebar with the trackpad, but that doesn't work, and actually only confuses things even more. 14" M1 Macbook Pro with Monterey 12.6. How can I do this? Thanks in advance.
