move only selected layer

Sselect the move tool and then at the top where the preferences are unselect the box that says auto-select.

Hope this helps someone out that comes accross this. 

Did you figure this out. 

What the person is asking is how to make sure the only layer that is moved is the selected layer. PS changed the behavior that regardless of the layer you have selected whatever you click it moves, and that is maddening, especially if all of the items are on top of each other and you are trying to move only the selected layer. 

I personally want to turn that feature off. It is multiplying the amount of time I am using to do a simple task

I'm not exactly sure whether you are trying to move the order of the layers in the layers panel, or whether after selecting a layer in the layer panel you click in the image and try to move the position of a layer. 

If you are having a problem moving the lowest layer in the panel, make sure it is not a background layer which cannot be moved until you convert it to a normal layer (with a double-click).

If you are having a problem selecting a layer in the image window, try changing your options for the move tool in the tool bin.
