LVM question

Dear All.
I have kind of test partition, but I need lv_root on it. So I have:

Code:

    Using physical volume(s) on command line
  PV                   VG       Fmt  Attr PSize      PFree   Start    SSize     LV            Start  Type    PE Ranges          
  /dev/sda6  VolGroup lvm2 a-   29.73g 440.00m       0     6859     lv_root     0        linear  /dev/sda6:0-6858   
  /dev/sda6  VolGroup lvm2 a-   29.73g 440.00m  6859      128     lv_swap   0        linear  /dev/sda6:6859-6986
  /dev/sda6  VolGroup lvm2 a-   29.73g 440.00m  6987      512     lv_root     6859  linear  /dev/sda6:6987-7498
  /dev/sda6  VolGroup lvm2 a-   29.73g 440.00m  7499          2     lv_swap   128    linear  /dev/sda6:7499-7500
  /dev/sda6  VolGroup lvm2 a-   29.73g 440.00m  7501      110             0 free

I want to move "lv_swap" to the end of VG. I want to delete its segment, and rest of VG to use for "lv_root".

Can anyone give me suggestion how to do it.
Thanks
