how to re-order vertical tabs

I have the add-on Vertical Tabs. Several versions of Firefox back, I was able to re-order the tabs by just grabbing and moving. Now that will not work. Is there a way to move the tabs around now. I will have a tab I use a lot at or near the top and as I add more tabs, those tabs go further down out of site. This is very irritating that I cannot move the original tabs back near the top. I have some tabs pinned but they also will not move position.

I am trying the Tree-style tabs and it looks like it will be great. However, there are no directions that make any sense to me. I have 2 questions. 1) When the tree first popped up, all my pinned tabs were grouped together in a box at the top of the tree which I liked. However, the screen had too much of a gap between the tree and the web page. I somehow figured how to get it looking right, but in the process all the pinned tabs are now in a vertical column taking too much space. How do I get them back into the box? 2) Is there a way to get the existing tabs I have into the tree style with child tabs under a parent tab? Or do I just have to start over or leave the existing ones alone and allow new tabs to organize? Edit: Problem #1 solved itself. I would still like to know the answer to problem 2 about my current long list of tabs.

Sorry, I don't use that extension. See if the developer's website has an answer for that. http://piro.sakura.ne.jp/xul/_treestyletab.html.en
