Of course, thanks so much for documenting your first experience so well. If a UI causes a confusing state for the user, there's work to be done to improve it.

By moving sections up/down, do you mean reordering the "employment" section above the "education" section? Were you able to reorder schools or employment positions?

Lastly, what browser/OS are you using? I've noticed drag and drop act funky in some browser/OS combinations.

Late reply, but I was using Chromium. And yes, I was unable to move the Education above/below Employment, or something similar. When I grabbed something to move it, it would move the highlighted word (within subsection) to another subsection.
Thanks for the reply! Reordering in the content form is only meant for reordering schools within the education section, reordering employment positions within the employment section, etc. Reordering entire sections can actually be accomplished in the resume customizer, where they can be moved up and down, or to diferent columns entirely.

A few other users have mentioned the same difficulty, so I now recognize that it is a point of confusion due to a lack of guidance or clarity in the UI. I will be working on ways to reduce this confusion, and certainly the documenting of your experience will help with improving this part of the UI.
