How do you reorder destinations in the new interface?

You used to be able to drag the destinations around in the left panel
(esp. if you collapsed each 'segment' so could see the destinations
all at once) - both options how seem to be missing?

Also the reverse option doesn't appear if there are more than one destination.


As a minor point somewhere along the line the small blowup map in the
popups when clicking points has gone - a shame.
