How do I order my Guests?

I have Win 7 64-bit host & have several guests running & I need to order them a certain way so that they're easier to monitor. I them setup correctly at one time & now I've messed it up & need to redo it. How do I order the guests the way I want them? I see that I can sort them, but that just puts them in alphabetical order. I've tried dragging them around, but that's not working.

I know there's a way to do because I've done it. I just can't remember what I did. I've tried the manual & searching the forum, but I can't seem to figure out the right combination of words to search on. I could REALLY use some help.

You don't way what version you are using, but I've just tried one 4.2.4 and I can easily drag guest up and down in the list to order them. When jut drag a guest up/down, you will get an indication of where you can drop it (a black line or similar).

With the current version, you can also create groups.

If you are really struggling to create a custom order, you could name the guests like "1. Foo", "2. Bar", "3. Other" and then when you do an alpha sort, they'll be in the order you want.

I'm using the latest version. For some reason (could be a loose nut behind the keyboard) I couldn't drag & drop them. Then I restarted VirtualBox & was able to drag them around. So, I got it. Thank you.
