Macro to move items up and down Lists in Pages

In Pages List mode, there are no keyboard shortcuts to move items up and down the list, which is a huge pain in the neck. It's possible to click on items and drag them up and down, but it is irritating and time consuming. I am scratching my head trying to find a way around this. Is there any way to create a macro to move items up and down ?
thanks in advance for your time and help
