I have dual boot Ubuntu 14.04 and Win8.1. For some reason (my mistake) I have my home partition (80GB) than swap (4GB) and then 200GB of unallocated space (in that order). I want to use this free space. Can I move swap partition on the end of unallocated space and extend home partition (with-out loss of data)? Or should I just make another partition where the unallocated space is. Does the position of partitions matter or no? (Someone said to me once that swap should be at the end.)

Since the swap doesn't have any data stored on it, you can swapoff, remove the swap volume, extend your home-partition and recreate the swap at the end of the drive.
