Side panel category/project rearrangement

It turns out to be a bit of a hassle to rearrange collapsed projects in the left side panel. I collapsed them so I could see them all at once and quickly rearrange them without having to scroll too much. However, collapsing made it easier to create sub-categories when moving them around, which is not what I want. It appears that the only easy way to move individual categories without inadvertently forming sub-categories its to expand all categories, and that can be a little inconvenient. I’m wondering if there’s a better way to achieve my goal of rearranging categories.
