The categories that can be moved are Summary, Experience, Education, Recommended By, Additional Information, Applications and Contact Settings. They have handles that you click on and drag organize your profile to suit your needs. To rearrange your sections, simply click on your profile, edit profile, the handle and drag and drop to where you wish it to appear.
