Perhaps we want to place it near "Bluetooth" because they have they have similar functions and both use similar ideas, so let's put them together by placing "WiFi" above "Bluetooth" and releasing our finger

We also have "Saver" and "EXT Saver" together which also share similar functions and are useful to have together.

For a second example, let's say we use "Sound Profile" quite a lot, therefore we are going to press down on the right icon again, the three gray horizontal lines, and move this up to the top
.
This is because it is more important for our daily lives and needs to be easily accessible.

We are going to place "Sound Profile" right at the top, then release our finger to place it
.
With this, we see that we can edit these any way that we like and rearrange them, place the ones that are important to us at the top to allow us easy access to these quick settings.
