Ardour does not impose any particular ordering of tracks and busses in either the editor or mixer windows. The default arrangement is as follows:
-By default the ordering within the editor and mixer windows is synchronized: if you reorder in one window, the ordering in the other window will change. You can disable this via Edit > Preferences > Editor > Synchronize Editor and Mixer Track Order
. When disabled, the ordering both both windows is totally indepedent of the other.
The ordering within the editor and mixer windows is synchronized: if you reorder in one window, the ordering in the other window will change.

- + +When adding new tracks, the current selection determines their initial order. If one or several tracks are selected, 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 last in the track order.
++ {% children %}Because new tracks are automatically selected, you can quickly reorder them in the editor window via the keyboard (see above).
