Hard to say exactly with the screenshot so fuzzy, but it appears you have selected the first partition INSIDE the extended/logical partition area.  You can't move it to the left without first resizing the logical partition (presumably back to right after the exd of the only primatry position).  Then you should be able to move the first partition in the extended space.

I have used gparted to resize/shrink two partitions to free up space

partitions into the free space that I have opened up so that I can
increase the size of the partition that needs to be larger.

Sorry this camera screen shot is so blurry, but I could not get the
screen capture on the gparted live CD to work.

What is the secret to moving partitions?
