: Unable to move one group to different group in illustrator? I am working on one of the app UI project where I need to move one group to different group in illustrator.Reference screen shot

From my experience, only Layers and Sublayers will not move into a group due to hierarchy. The levels being Layer -> Sublayer -> Group. So, a Layer or Sublayer will never move into a group.

Chances are contextmenu is a layer/sublayer.

Based upon comments under the question, if it was a symbol which has been "broken", then it's most likely a sublayer, and sublayers can't be moved into groups.

To get around this... Select everything in contextmenu and group it, that will create a new <Group> in the layers panel which then can be moved.

You can't move an existing group into the other group. However, you can select both of the groups and group them together one more time.
Also, it's a good practice to re-arrange objects into several layers. It will make your project more efficient and better organized.

What's the function of the triangle next to the red rectangle? - It basically says that all elements of context menu are selected and active.
