In programming languages like C# this request is a matter of a few lines of code.
VMS is pure C++ code (does not even use MFC) to keep it as lightweight as possible, so implementing Drag&Drop in a OwnerDrawn listbox like the soundfont list could be a hard work.
Anyway will add it to TODO list.
PS: what's wrong with move-up/move-down buttons? Will an auto-repeat feature on those buttons help?

Thanks, there's nothing wrong with the up/down buttons and this is really not vital :)
It would be just a quality of life (QoL) improvement, I think is called :)
But you DO have to click them a lot of times if you soundfont chain is big and if you want to move it higher or lower, one click per soundfont you have, luckily I have an auto click macro in my mouse that I've used for this exact thing several times, but not everyone has a auto click macro like this
If this is too hard to implement you could do something else instead like the auto-repeat feature you say, here are examples:
- Another up and down button (for the icons I suggest like the current one but with more arrows) that instead of moving is just one, let's say it moves them 5 times up or down per click, so you have to click 5 times less
- Holding current arrow buttons clicked automatically move current highlighted soundfont up or down, maybe from 2 to 5 soundfonts per second hold, not sure if this is possible with how the buttons are that they only act when you raise/stop holding left click
- A "Grab" button that grabs the current highlighted soundfont, and meanwhile the soundfont is in this mode if you scroll the soundfont will scroll with you
What I mean with the 3rd one is something like this if you imagine that 1 soundfont is "grabbed" (also that i'm not highlighting all those others soundfonts) and that's being moved more or less in sync with the scroll bar
