Add section in a nav bar - html

Question

In bootstrap 3, i have a nav bar, with an form bar.
I try to add another section just to the right of the search button.
<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.3.5/css/bootstrap.min.css">
<script src="https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.3.5/js/bootstrap.min.js"></script>
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<div class="col-sm-12">
<nav role="navigation" class="navbar navbar-default pull-right">
<div class="container-fluid">
<form class="navbar-form" role="search">
<div class="checkbox">
<label>
<input type="checkbox" id="inactiveLodger">Locataire inactif</label>
</div>
<div class="input-group">
<input type="text" class="form-control" placeholder="Rechercher" name="srch-term" id="srch-term">
<div class="input-group-btn">
<button id="lodgerSearch" type="button" class="btn btn-default"><i class="glyphicon glyphicon-search"></i>
</button>
</div>
</div>
</form>
<ul class="nav navbar-nav navbar-right">
<li class="dropdown"> Paul Smith<b class="caret"></b>
<ul class="dropdown-menu">
<li><i class="glyphicon glyphicon-lock"></i> Changer mot de passe
</li>
<li id="logout"><i class="glyphicon glyphicon-log-out"></i>Déconnexion
</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
</div>
</nav>
</div>
Righ now, the other section is below, like you can see on the image.

If you want to use float:right that is what navbar-right does, simply invert order of form and dropdown. right floated element must be placed BEFORE others in order to make others floats around them.
<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.3.5/css/bootstrap.min.css">
<script src="https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.3.5/js/bootstrap.min.js"></script>
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<div class="col-sm-12">
<nav role="navigation" class="navbar navbar-default pull-right">
<div class="container-fluid">
<ul class="nav navbar-nav navbar-right">
<li class="dropdown"> Paul Smith<b class="caret"></b>
<ul class="dropdown-menu">
<li><i class="glyphicon glyphicon-lock"></i> Changer mot de passe
</li>
<li id="logout"><i class="glyphicon glyphicon-log-out"></i>Déconnexion
</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
<form class="navbar-form" role="search">
<div class="checkbox">
<label>
<input type="checkbox" id="inactiveLodger">Locataire inactif</label>
</div>
<div class="input-group">
<input type="text" class="form-control" placeholder="Rechercher" name="srch-term" id="srch-term">
<div class="input-group-btn">
<button id="lodgerSearch" type="button" class="btn btn-default"><i class="glyphicon glyphicon-search"></i>
</button>
</div>
</div>
</form>
</div>
</nav>
</div>

Unless you're applying other changes to the navbar, you shouldn't need the extra classes you've applied (col-sm-12/pull-right/etc). Just use the default classes and structure and but reorder your right floated navigation elements so they're in the order you want.
See example.
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.11.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script src="https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.3.5/js/bootstrap.min.js"></script>
<link href="https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.3.5/css/bootstrap.min.css" rel="stylesheet" />
<nav class="navbar navbar-default">
<div class="container-fluid">
<!-- Brand and toggle get grouped for better mobile display -->
<div class="navbar-header">
<button type="button" class="navbar-toggle collapsed" data-toggle="collapse" data-target="#bs-example-navbar-collapse-1" aria-expanded="false"> <span class="sr-only">Toggle navigation</span>
<span class="icon-bar"></span>
<span class="icon-bar"></span>
<span class="icon-bar"></span>
</button> <a class="navbar-brand" href="#">Brand</a>
</div>
<!-- Collect the nav links, forms, and other content for toggling -->
<div class="collapse navbar-collapse" id="bs-example-navbar-collapse-1">
<ul class="nav navbar-nav">
<li class="active">Link <span class="sr-only">(current)</span>
</li>
<li>Link
</li>
</ul>
<ul class="nav navbar-nav navbar-right">
<li class="dropdown"> Paul Smith <span class="caret"></span>
<ul class="dropdown-menu">
<li><i class="glyphicon glyphicon-lock"></i> Changer mot de passe
</li>
<li><i class="glyphicon glyphicon-log-out"></i> Déconnexion
</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
<form class="navbar-form navbar-right" role="search">
<div class="form-group">
<div class="checkbox">
<label>
<input type="checkbox" id="inactiveLodger">Locataire inactif</label>
</div>
<div class="input-group">
<input type="text" class="form-control" placeholder="Rechercher" name="srch-term" id="srch-term">
<div class="input-group-btn">
<button id="lodgerSearch" type="button" class="btn btn-default"><i class="glyphicon glyphicon-search"></i>
</button>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</form>
</div>
<!-- /.navbar-collapse -->
</div>
<!-- /.container-fluid -->
</nav>
