How to merge two unallocated partitions using GParted?

Question

I am having trouble merging two unallocated partitions (free spaces) using GParted. I need to merge them into one single partition which I can then break into "root" and "home" for my pending Ubuntu installation. Please help!

Here is a snapshot of what my partition table looks like right now: (There are two unallocated partitions of 36.23 GB and 11.16GB respectively, which I need to merge)

Move /dev/sda6 to the right -> apply changes

the free space will now all be adjacent, make a partition in the free space.

If you wish, you can then re-number your partitions, see Resize partitions in Gparted
