reordering a series

Yesterday I uploaded a bunch of journals, added cover art and made them into a series. I added the journals sequentially with the idea that they would appear in numerical order. Unfortunately I seem to have missed two of them (Forgot to click add to bottom) When I was adding them to the series it was very clear how I could drag and drop to re-order but I don't have any more in that series and I can't figure out how to get them into the right place. When I read about "new series" it mentioned drag and drop but I don't seem to find that. Can someone help me figure this out. And let me try to see if a "touchstone" will work. bonsai today is the series.

>1 nonob: Click the Edit Series button in the top right corner of the series page, and then the Add To/Organize Series link. That will take you back to the drag-and-drop page.

Alternatively, since you've got all of these numbered, you could instead use the Basic Settings link there to change the sorting to automatically sort by title or by order label. It can be a pain dragging things around in a long series list, so I switch to automatic sorting as much as possible then.

You can drag and drop inside of the series, not into the series. From the Series page: Edit series -> Add to/Organize Series

Opens https://www.librarything.com/nseries/works/316955 and you can move them around and add more of them (and don't forget to save at the end). You seem to have them at the top so this is what you need :) )

If you are trying to add the missing ones, you can use the Add Work button on the same page OR you can add from the work page itself (
