do Ctrl-\, highlight the directory you want to move. Hit the 
[Move] button, and you will get a status line saying:

"Moving /dir/you/just/highlighted/to/move"

at the top of the Directory Hotlist pane.

You can now move the highlight again to where you want to 
move the directory entry.

Hit return, and the directory listing will be moved to 
*below* the hightlighted entry.

If you want to move a directory listing to the very top of 
the directory Hotlist, you will have to move the directory 
entry above it down. So it will take two moves to get the 
directory listing to the top, if it's not second from the 
top already.
