The ordering is going to prevent you from shrinking. /boot is last and you likely cannot get enough space out of that one. I am not sure what would happen if you made p2 smaller or if it would even let you create a p7 that is after p2 but before p3. And with all shrinks you must shrink the fs first and then make the partition smaller. if you reverse the order it won't work and you will have to revert the partition change to mount the fs and/or find your data after reboot. it may appear to work immediately (still has access) but fail hard on reboot. And you cannot resize smaller some fses (xfs for sure, btrfs seems to have limits and needs to be carefully done--don't ask me how I run away from anything btrfs).
