Alter stage configuration?

[DmitriWillguard]

Is it currently possible to move specific items between stage folders? I'd like to have my parachutes be on their own stage, but they keep getting filed with my last decoupler. As far as I can tell, it's just an aesthetic thing, but I hate seeing the chutes light up during reentry. >_>

Yes ofc! Just click on the Item you wish to move and drag them into another stage.

If the you want the whole stage later/sooner, click and drag the orange bar and move them up and down!

Edit: if you have e.g 3 engines you want to move, click once so they all split up in single ones and move them (when they have a green frame) all together.

Just fiddle little bit around in the stage bar, you will figure it out

To expand on what T3E said, if you want to create a new stage for your chute, hover over an existing stage and click the "+" button that appears. That will create a new stage directly below the existing one, then you can drag your chute into it and then drag the stage itself wherever you want it. The "-" button is for removing stages, but only works if the stage is completely empty.
