Reorder shortcuts using ctrl-shift pgup/pgdn on Windows/Mac just like you can already do in Linux.
Keyboard Shortcuts to Reorder Tabs Extension
Works on Chrome OS only now that other OS support this natively.

F.A.Q.
Q: It's not working on this page!
A: Please note that NO Chrome extensions with a content script (such as this) are allowed to run in the Google Chrome Webstore (i.e. this page!)
Q: It's not working on other pages!
A: Tabs you had open prior to installing this extensions need to be reloaded before this will work. Otherwise check your org's policy on Chrome extension as it may be restricted by your administrator.
Q: I sync my extensions across different Operating Systems. Will this break things on e.g. Windows?
A: No. The extension does nothing on Linux to avoid ctrl-shift-pgup/down moving the tab twice.
Q: Still having problems?
A: Let me know and I will fix it. Don't make me ask for obvious details though. I would need browser version and operating system. Did you try it with no other extensions installed?
