How to move dock items?
It's a smooth click and upward motion on an icon using your mouse or trackpad to rearrange icons in the Dock. Don't click-and-hold, click and move -- if you click and hold you'll get the option menu overlay for the application.
Tried to make a little gyfcat that shows it happening:

This irregardless of the setting for Keep in Dock
on the application. In the above example I'm moving apps that have Keep in Dock
set and not set. They're all re-arrangeable.
One option was to uncheck 'Keep in Dock' (context-click) to remove it, then:
open the applications folder to find the program and then:
drag it to the new desired place in the dock.
Finally recheck Options -> 'Keep in Dock'
