+title: Reordering Tracks
+---
+
+<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 > Move Selected Tracks Up</kbd>
+ (shortcut: <kbd class="mod1">↑</kbd>) or<br />
+ <kbd class="menu">Track > Move Selected Tracks Down</kbd>
+ (shortcut: <kbd class="mod1">↓</kbd>).
+</p>
+<p>
+ Alternatively, you can use the <kbd class="menu">Tracks & Busses</kbd>
+ panel of the
+ <a href="/ardours-interface/introducing-the-editor-window/editor-lists/">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).
