Precaution:

  • Have backups of data you care about.

Steps for online move:

  1. sda5 (Swap) - Swapoff

  2. sda2 (Extended) - Resize/Move - Grow to the right as far as possible

  3. sda5 (Swap) - Resize/Move - Move to the right as far as possible

  4. sda2 (Extended) - Resize/Move - Move start to the right as far as possible

  5. sda1 (ext4) - Resize/Move - Grow to the right as far as possible

  6. sda5 (Swap) - Swapon

Suggest applying after each of steps 2-5 just for better placement.
