I am running Audacity 2.4.2, Windows 10.
I have a dozen or more tracks that I am in the process of recording. I have yet to find a way to number or otherwise identify which track is which. I want to be able to move them around, then sort them back to the original order. From some of the questions on this forum I see that some people have numbered their tracks, but they don't identify how they did that.
Thanks for any help.

Re: numbering tracks I'm working with
Click on the track name (top of the panel on the left end of the track).
Then select "Name" (top item in the pop-up menu).
Enter the name that you want for the track and click "OK".
Optional: There's an option in Preferences to "Show audio track name as overlay" (image below)

Re: numbering tracks I'm working with
At the top of the Track Control Panel, there is a drop-down arrow that allows you to change the name of the track. Then you can use the Tracks > Sort Tracks command from the Menu Bar.
