Daily Battles: How to Rearrange Icons in your Menu Bar for MacOS Big Sur

I have a lot of icons in my menu bar on my Mac because I use a lot of free programs such as:

• Moom for remembering my windows locations
• BetterSnapTool and Spectacle for auto snapping my windows
• f.lux to change my screen color so I can sleep better
• Irvue to automatically change my desktop backgrounds

I also have a lot of built-in utilities that I access frequently, such as:

• Bluetooth manager
• WiFi manager
• Sound input source and volume control
• Timemachine for backup
• VPN

Then there are programs like:

• WeChat
• Google Hangout
• Android Web Messages
• iOS Messages
• Slack
• VLC
• etc.

As someone with OCD, it is super important for me to be able to group things together the way I want. So how can you do that on a Mac with Big Sur?

The answer is super easy, although took me a while to find:

Solution:

You just hold the command key and then drag the icon with your mouse!

Yep, it's that simple! But if you don't know, you don't know.

By the way, I also am very particular with icons in my Dock and icons on my Mac touch bar. But since other people have provided detailed instructions, I'll just link them here:
