Can't do that either.

Good idea ... but it still doesn't work.

But something interesting, which I had actually noticed before:  The 
window that the list appears in is all the way to the left, so that the 
dots are very near the left edge.  And I can't find any way to move the 
window to the right.

I can two-finger expand the text in the window as large as possible and 
shift the focus all the way to the left.  Now, even though the left edge 
of the window is still at the left edge of the screen, the space to the 
left of the dots is wide enough that I can definitely touch the dots 
without touching the edge of the screen ... and I still can't move the text.

In landscape mode, the left edge of the window is now moved away from 
the left edge of the screen (so that the sidebar of control icons now 
shows).  The dots are now more than an inch away from the edge of the 
screen ... and they still don't work.

BTW, it previously worked.  I have an older list in which I had 
successfully re-ordered and indented/outdented items.  But now the dots 
in that list no longer work either.
