Hi Susan,

Can you share the file on which you tested this?

If there is only one paragraph under a headline, you cannot move
it up and down, the move is constrained by the structure of the
file.

Check also C-M-t (Control Meta t) to transpose elements and
S-M-<up/down> to move a line up and down (this last command is
structure-agnostic and can be handy sometimes.)

HTH,
