How to sort Galleries and Pages inside a Folder ?

In each Folder I have several Galleries sorted manually, from the most recent to the oldest, nothing original.
Now, I've created a Page (vs a Gallery) in order to build a nice design for the serie of photos I'm working on.

Bad surprise ! The Organizer does not accept that I move (manually) my new Page before my existing galleries !

Are you aware of this problem ? Did I miss something ? Is there a workaround ?

Many thanks in advance,
Serge
PS : I've checked the settings for "All Folders", the "sorting by" option is correct, ie "Organizer position".

    Did you use "select from" "Items | Choose"? If you did they are locked in the order that you select them. You'll
    have to reselect them in the order you want.

    When you click on the wrench of a "Pages, Folders, Galleries" box there is a "select from". In its drop
    pick "Items | Choose" > then "items" shows up so click "choose items". Then you can select the
    "items", galleries, pages or folders. You'll have to browse around to find each item to highlight. Select
    in the order you want.

    OK, I've made my new Page public, so it is clear now for support.
    Here is the link to my folder concerned : http://www.sergeberrardvisuals.com/Galleries/Portraits
    My Page (nicer design than galleries designs, just my opinion) is the last one, others are galleries.

    Summary of my issue :
    My Page being my last photos, I want to move it at the beginning of this folder.
    No way using the Organizer.

    My folder concerned is a Block "folders, galleries & pages", currently I use "select from" -> "current location".
    If I try, as you said Allen, "select from" ->"items I choose", my problem is I can select one item only.

    Thank you again...

    the problem with "items I choose" is that we can choose only one item.
    so for me that means that we are obliged to use several blocks, and the problem of several blocks is that there is no continuation, large empty room between blocks...

    Maybe a solution would consist in creating an empty Gallery (easily sorted manually with the Organizer as usual), this empty gallery having an automatic redirection to the Page (which would be unlisted)
    The Block inside the empty gallery would be an HTML Block including the code for the redirection.
    Is there an HTML instruction that permits an auto redirection please ?
    Thanks again,
    Serge

    I chose gallery, page, gallery, folder, gallery with no problem. All show in box in that order.
    After highlighting one browse to another and select a page, gallery or folder. See "breadcrumb" upper left.

    Upper right shows how many selected.
