In Windows 11 file explorer navigation pane, how do I move Quick Access pins back to the top of the list?

When I updated my machine to Windows 11, the quick access items were moved beneath OneDrive in the File Explorer navigation pane. This is a big inconvenience since I always have my OneDrive folder expanded and can no longer scroll to the top to access my pinned folders. How do I get the pinned Quick Access items back to the top of the navigation pane where I can – ironically – access them quickly?

    Agreed 100% with that. So it all came back to the top ? Did you do anything special or was it an update ?

    That worked really nicely. Altough they don't include a space between elements after the Quick Access stuff, like cloud services, librairy, my PC... Hope they fix that explorer thing soon.
