This is by design. Please make sure to search for duplicates when filing new issues. This is something that we can't support right now due to some platform limitations. Turns out, even if we tried to support reordering tabs while elevated, the application would actually just crash 😨. See #3581, #4874, #5564, #6893 and others for more details.
