 Welcome Page - Difficulty moving MANY boxes on the Page Designer

Hi,
We are using the "Welcome Page" (a.k.a menu page) extensively and users with learning disability who have problem using the text menu, like it very much. It is very flexible to organize blocks of info especially on mobile phone. We often have 30 to 50 "boxes" on Welcome Page, in different groups.
Here's the issue:
When adding one new item, or copy an existing one, it will always be added to the bottom of the page on Page Designer. However, I can't drag it all the way up at one go, but one at a time due to my 12 inch notebook screen space, it displays 2 or 3 boxes vertically on my screen.
So i drag it "hop" by "hop" to the next one up, and up, 20+ times (for example) and if I change my mind, i drag it down again 20+ times. I thought of plugging in a big monitor to my notebook, but still, it maybe only display 4 to 6 boxes vertically. Is there a better way of doing this?
Maybe a suggestion to Sergey's Team: Have a new "Cut" button and then move the cursor to where we want it, and a "Paste" button to drop it there.
Thanks

ACP

Hi:
You have tried combining selection with the mouse and scrolling the screen with the arrow keys.
In a single action you move around the screen with the selected object.

While Page Designer can always use some usability improvements and we are working on those, I really recommend to get a big screen. I don't see how anyone can design a welcome page with 30-50 items on it using a small screen device.
