<p>
2017-01-17 03:46:03 -05:00
The <dfn>track ordering</dfn> of the Editor and Mixer is <dfn>synchronized</dfn>: if you
2014-02-05 13:31:16 -05:00
reorder in one window, the ordering in the other window will follow.
</p>
<h2>Reordering in the Editor Window</h2>
<p>
Select the tracks you want to move. Then use<br />
<kbd class="menu">Track &gt; Move Selected Tracks Up</kbd>
(shortcut: <kbd class="mod1">&uarr;</kbd>) or<br />
<kbd class="menu">Track &gt; Move Selected Tracks Down</kbd>
(shortcut: <kbd class="mod1">&darr;</kbd>).
</p>
<p>
Alternatively, you can use the <a href="/ardours-interface/editor-lists/tracks-and-busses-list/"><kbd class="menu">Tracks &amp; Busses</kbd>
2017-01-17 03:46:03 -05:00
panel of the Editor Lists</a>, if visible.
2014-02-05 13:31:16 -05:00
Here, you can freely drag-and-drop tracks and busses into any order you prefer.
</p>
<h2>Reordering in the Mixer Window</h2>
<p>
Within the <kbd class="menu">Strips</kbd> pane at the top left of the
Mixer window, you can freely drag-and-drop tracks and busses into any
desired order.
</p>
<h2>"Collecting" Group Members</h2>
<p>
2017-01-17 03:46:03 -05:00
Tracks and Busses that are members of a group can be reordered so that they
display contiguously within the Editor and Mixer windows. Context-click on
2014-02-05 13:31:16 -05:00
the group tab and choose <kbd class="menu">Collect</kbd>.
</p>
<h2>Ordering of New Tracks</h2>
<p>
2017-01-17 03:46:03 -05:00
When <dfn>adding new tracks</dfn>, the current selection determines their
placement. New tracks will be placed after the rightmost (in the mixer) or
bottom-most (in the editor) selected track. If no tracks are selected, new
2014-02-05 13:31:16 -05:00
tracks will be added at the end.
</p>
<p class="note">
2017-01-17 03:46:03 -05:00
Because new tracks are automatically selected, you can quickly reorder them
2014-02-05 13:31:16 -05:00
in the editor window via the keyboard shortcuts after adding them (see above).
