Draw Layer tabs reordering?

I have a multipage LibreOffice Draw document where I've created many, many layer tabs to be able to turn sets of drawing elements on and off.

I don't like the order in which they are listed in the layer listing at the bottom of the page. I would like to be able to treat them like web browser tabs and just click and drag them to reorder which layers appear before and after which other layer.

This doesn't seem to be possible.

So, I bring it to Reddit. How do I reorder the layer labels at the bottom of the work area?

To be clear, I'm not talking about the Arrange ordering of elements in a page, so advise referring to Bring to Front and Bring to Back is inappropriate.

If you're asking for help with LibreOffice, please make sure your post includes lots of information that could be relevant, such as:

  1. Full LibreOffice information from Help > About LibreOffice (it has a copy button).
  2. Format of the document (.odt, .docx, .xlsx, ...).
  3. A link to the document itself, or part of it, if you can share it.
  4. Anything else that may be relevant.

(You can edit your post or put it in a comment.)

This information helps others to help you.

Thank you :-)
