Dragged Tasks Become Sub-Tasks

Hi,
When I try to rearrange tasks between folders by dragging, my tasks almost always become sub-tasks of an existing task or land in the wrong folder. As I drag, other tasks highlight, and if I drop it becomes a sub-task. But there is no highlight that tells me that my dragged task will drop in at the folder level instead of at the sub-task level.
The only way to organize tasks between folders is using the pull-down folder field. It would nice if drag and drop gave clearer feedback on where items will land. Thanks!

The drag and drop feature only works to drag onto another task. You cannot manually sort, although MANY MANY people would love to see this implemented.

The drop-down Folder list is the only way to reorganize tasks by Folder. As Vin said, the Hand only has three functions: to drag a task under another as a subtask, to drag a subtask from one parent task to another, and to drag a subtask out from its parent to become a top level task. For a description of the Hand's functions, see the section called "Creating and Moving Subtasks" on this page: http://www.toodledo.com/info/subtasks.php

However, a subtask will take on the Folder of its parent task, so if you are moving a task into position as a subtask, it will change its Folder to that of the parent.
