+  zoom levels) is configurable via the <kbd
+  class="menu">Edit &gt; Preferences &gt; Editor</kbd> dialog, to support 
+  different usecases and user preferences. The following options are

+<dl class="wide-table">
+  <dt>Show waveforms in regions</dt>

+      <dd>Alternatively, you can use a <dfn>logarithmic</dfn> display of the

+      to dBs) and plot soft passages more clearly, which is useful for soft

+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 &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 <kbd class="menu">Tracks &amp; 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).
+</p>
