Cmv131 has it right.
In case you can't see the Quick Launch navigation link because of configuration, you might see something called Navigation and under that, Tree View. Click the Navigation link and you'll get the configuration settings for your global and Quick Launch navigation. Scroll down to the Quick Launch area and manipulate your menu items using the Move Up, Move Down buttons.
It's a pain when you've got a lot of items, but at least you have some kind of control over the list display.
Hope that helps.
