Is there a way of changing the order of Finder sidebar groups?

On my old MacBook, running Mojave, the Finder displayed  Locations  at the top of the sidebar.  I’d like to have this arrangement on my new MB running Monterey but it displays  Favourites in this position. 


Is there a way of changing the default order of sidebar groups? I don’t want my drives to be buried (i.e. off screen) below my favourites.

Indeed I can. Thank you for that. Perhaps I failed to do it initially because the feel of the trackpad was slightly unfamiliar - but some posts from way back suggested that it was not possible. And then an Apple Support person actually told me it was not possible.


It's so easy. Dragging the group name is sufficient. Thanks again
