Moving sub-task up and down a kanban board (does not work)

We use personal kanban boards. My collegues often make sub-task for me. I can move these sub-task from column to column but I cant move them within a column up or down.

I can move normal issues up and down, also above and below a sub-task. But is I have three sub-task I can't place them in the order I want. The grayed-out "mother issue" will not move.

In the picture you can see that I can move them to left or right column but not in the column itself.

How can I move a sub-task in a column, setting its priority between sub-tasks and other issues. Considering sub-task are assigend to different people.

Sub-tasks are not independent, they are a part of their parent issue.  It is complete nonsense to rank them outside their parent, so Jira doesn't support it.

It would be good if you could move the parent then, what is also not possible. Is there a way?

You can re-rank parent issues in the board, but only if your board filter says "order by rank"
