Reorganizing Sheets and Their Contents

In the Sheets pane, you can move sheets around and reorder their tables and charts.
You can also move tables and charts from one sheet to another.

Reordering tables and charts in the Sheets pane doesn’t affect their location on the
sheet canvas. In the Sheets pane, for example, you may want to place charts next to
the tables they’re derived from, or list tables in the order in which you want to work
on them. But on the sheet canvas, you may want to present these objects in a different
order (for example, when you lay out your spreadsheet for printing).
