Move Desktop Spaces in Mission Control with Drag & Drop

Rearrange spaces in Mission Control

It’s easier than ever to rearrange your virtual desktops (Spaces) in Mission Control, all you need to do is click on a desktop and then drag and drop it to a new spot to move it.

Moving Desktop 3 before Desktop 2 will change their orientation accordingly when you’re switching between desktops as well. Desktops will also automatically rename themselves based on their placement within Mission Control, if you drag Desktop 5 before Desktop 4, the names will switch accordingly.

    I’m still flabbergasted by the fact that you cannot rename desktop spaces in Lion.

    I find Mission Control a waste of time.

    Worth mentioning that this drag-and-drop desktop feature was made available only after 10.7.2 update.

    Still lame compared to Expose with Spaces.

    Be careful! I thought I was clever setting my apps to launch to a certain space, then I moved them. Now my screen bounces everywhere when I open things.
