Shamus Hammons dfec6899ef Initial cleanup of manual content.
This includes fixing em-dashes, badly spaced colons, various
misspellings, removal of spurious {% %} constructs, conversion of <br />
to <br> (still too many <br>s kicking around), and initial light cleanup
of a few sections that caught my eye.

<p>
The <dfn>track ordering</dfn> of the Editor and Mixer is <dfn>synchronized</dfn>: if you
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>
panel of the Editor Lists</a>, if visible.
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>
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
the group tab and choose <kbd class="menu">Collect</kbd>.
</p>
<h2>Ordering of New Tracks</h2>
<p>
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
tracks will be added at the end.
</p>
<p class="note">
Because new tracks are automatically selected, you can quickly reorder them
in the editor window via the keyboard shortcuts after adding them (see above).
