Portal - Can you rearrange regions on a page?

Is there a way to rearrange regions on a page?

Oracle's official doc says:

   "Not directly. There is no drag-and-drop capability with regions. However, 
    you can move content and delete and add regions pretty easily to achieve 
    this effect. For example, in List view of page Edit mode, move all content 
    to one region, which will act as a holding region. Delete the undesirable 
    empty regions, then add regions in the desired layout. Finally, move the 
    content from the holding region into their target home regions. "

Did I hear this right - "pretty easily"?  I don't think so!  I accidently 
deleted a page header with gazillion items on the page and now to insert the 
lousy page header back I have to "move all content to one region"?  Is Oracle 
development out of their minds?  10 years of "improvements" to Oracle Portal 
and this is the best they can do?
