Hello all,

I’m currently running Mint 22.3 Cinnamon and I would like to be able to rearrange my drive order in “Devices” section of Nemo file browser. It seems to be using alphabetical order at the moment, I’m not sure if it’s even possible but any tips would be greatly appreciated.

Specifically, I would like to move my “work” dive to the top of the list above my audio visual drive as that’s my main drive I work on, and the removable “AV” drive just holds a temp pool of clips for editing.

Thanks in advance!

    i think it’s just alphabetical. you can pin a bookmark to isolate some under a different sidebar heading, though, and bookmarked items there can be re-arranged.

        It’s one of many pedantic services I provide.

        I would’ve also tried to answer the question, but others seem to have done better first.

      That’s a valid crit. I was thinking about the end goal while typing the title, and ended up with that mess. Fixed for future readers.

    As was mentioned, you can bookmark them, and then rearrange the bookmarks.

    Also, it’s likely the drives can be renamed, if you think of an alphabetical naming scheme that gets the order you want.

    Also, don’t forget that you have the option to add a separate file manager, if Nemo doesn’t quite fit your preference. I don’t have a recommendation though - I really like Nemo.

      Hi @[email protected] I keep trying the drag and drop and it doesn’t seem to work. They behave as if they are locked in place. Not sure if there is a system setting that is causing this behavior?
