Moving Shortcuts into a New Folder

In the Shortcuts app for macOS, you may find that you can't drag an existing shortcut to a new (empty) Shortcuts Folder. This is a bug in the Shortcuts app. To get around this limitation, create a new shortcut into the new folder and name it something like 'temp' -- it doesn't need to actually do anything. You should now be able to drag an existing shortcut into the folder. Once that's done, you can delete your 'temp' shortcut.

Also note that drag 'n drop works on iOS and iPadOS.
