Why I cannot resize my fat32 partition?

Hello! I have a 215Gb fat32 partition on my external SSD, and a 100Gb unallocated space right next to it, and I's like to extend it to 315Gb. So, on KDE partition manager, I right-click on the fat32 partition, select "resize/move", and this is the windows that pops up:

as you can see, the textbox with the size is grayed out, so I can only move the partition, but not resize it. Why? the device is not mounted of course, and I can operate on other partitions without problems.

thanks in advance!

You can only extend at the end. You would need to move it first.

but why isn't it giving me the possibility to extend it to the right by 4.01 Mb then?
