The more shortcut friendly you are, the more busy your macOS dock can become. Adding spacers to your dock can help organize those cluttered icons.
This isn’t a drag and drop GUI hack, but roll up your sleeves for a two line terminal process that will make your desktop look much cleaner.
defaults write com.apple.dock persistent-apps -array-add '{tile-type="spacer-tile";}'
