3 title: Reordering Tracks
7 The <dfn>track ordering</dfn> of the Editor and Mixer is <dfn>synchronized</dfn>: if you
8 reorder in one window, the ordering in the other window will follow.
11 <h2>Reordering in the Editor Window</h2>
13 Select the tracks you want to move. Then use<br />
14 <kbd class="menu">Track > Move Selected Tracks Up</kbd>
15 (shortcut: <kbd class="mod1">↑</kbd>) or<br />
16 <kbd class="menu">Track > Move Selected Tracks Down</kbd>
17 (shortcut: <kbd class="mod1">↓</kbd>).
20 Alternatively, you can use the <kbd class="menu">Tracks & Busses</kbd>
22 <a href="/ardours-interface/introducing-the-editor-window/editor-lists/">Editor
23 Lists</a>, if visible.
24 Here, you can freely drag-and-drop tracks and busses into any order you prefer.
27 <h2>Reordering in the Mixer Window</h2>
29 Within the <kbd class="menu">Strips</kbd> pane at the top left of the
30 Mixer window, you can freely drag-and-drop tracks and busses into any
34 <h2>"Collecting" Group Members</h2>
36 Tracks and Busses that are members of a group can be reordered so that they
37 display contiguously within the Editor and Mixer windows. Context-click on
38 the group tab and choose <kbd class="menu">Collect</kbd>.
41 <h2>Ordering of New Tracks</h2>
43 When <dfn>adding new tracks</dfn>, the current selection determines their
44 placement. New tracks will be placed after the rightmost (in the mixer) or
45 bottom-most (in the editor) selected track. If no tracks are selected, new
46 tracks will be added at the end.
49 Because new tracks are automatically selected, you can quickly reorder them
50 in the editor window via the keyboard shortcuts after adding them (see above).
