Audacity Forum

I think the FR is described in the first post. The OP wants an easier way to change the order of tracks. Gale and myself have voiced agreement, so that is at least 3 votes. The new "Move Track to Top/Bottom" options in the Track drop-down menu goes some way to improving this, but for large multi-track projects further improvement would be helpful.

There is then quite a lot of discussion about "how" to achieve that, but little consensus (so worth archiving the discussion).

One proposed "how to" that does appear to have support is to have a menu items (in the Tracks menu) that can move selected tracks up/down. This could then be assigned a keyboard shortcut, making it a lot quicker to move one or more tracks up/down one or more places. (3 votes)

New tracks added directly below the current selection, or at the bottom if there is no selection. (1 vote - me)

Mouse drag of selected multiple tracks up and down (1 vote - Gale)

Also some discussion about moving multiple discontinuous audio clips, though not actually the subject of the original topic.

I believe you already voted for that, Steve, but it's quite a popular request.

Thanks for the summary.
