- unfortunately, it's non-intuitive either in os2007 or os2008...

- Tools (Settings)->Control Panel->Navigation (Personalization)->Panels->Applications (Organize button)

- this task should be a one- or two-click drag-and-drop action, but someone decided to do it the Microsoft Way™

:-)

On OS 2008 it's actually much simpler:

Settings - Control Panel - Panels - Organise

I just tried it, and it's a simple drag-and-drop process. Click on the app you want to move on the right, drag it to the appropriate folder on the left, then click "Done" when you've finished moving things about.

i have os2008, and it works (drag and drop) once you find it!!!!
i feel like such a newbie! after all what is a "panel"! if it said "organize applications" instead, i would have found it myself!!!

I didn't work for me -
I opened Organize and tried to drag-n-drop "images" from My Selection to Extras.
The little icon followed the stylus over, then scooted back. It never stayed where I drag it.
Finally about the 10th time it worked.
Repeating it it still doesn't work reliably.
/edit - finally got mahjong to move

It's buggy in my n810, too, while it was ok on os2007 (n800). It takes several trials to move an icon, and at times using another group as an intermediate base.
I am going to file is as a bug on maemo bugzilla (if I find it

The Drop target in the left pane isn't very intuitive. You'd think that dragging something over and seeing the target item highlight would let you drop it there, but that isn't the case if you drop the item on the text. I've found that it only works consistently if you drag an item and drop it on the folder icon of the category you want to move it to. Dropping it on the name of the category didn't do as you'd expect.

sometimes things do take several trials with the n800/os2008...
for example drop down menus on the browser got
stuck on the bottom line, and cannot move to the second from the bottom... i tricked it by going to the top and then scrolling back down!

i get used to the multiple trials and don't even notice...
but i did need to drag and drop a couple times too to move the applications!
