It's nice to see you here in the Community forum, ISherrGrl1. I'll provide scenarios that can help you rearrange the payroll items in QuickBooks.
If you want to rearrange the payroll items in the Employees menu, the option to do so is unavailable. You can only edit, assign, remove, and make a payroll item inactive or active.
However, if you mean to rearrange the items when running payroll, you can drag the ellipsis icon and move the columns. You can also click the Customize button and uncheck/check the box that you want to include.

For more details on managing your payroll items, see this link: Manage your payroll items in QuickBooks Online Payroll.
You may also review these links that will guide you in processing payroll automatically and customizing your payroll reports:
