Reorder / Rearrange Video and Audio Tracks

It would be amazing to simply grab a track and move it up or down in the order of the sequence. This was something I could do easily back when I used Vegas Pro. Occasionally, I have big, complex sequences and would like to reorder the tracks for organization purposes or for shipping off to audio master. Thanks!

I'm going to go ahead and add my vote and voice here. This is really needed.

To Taran and Thomas, even dragging is two steps ahead.

Just the ability to right click and choose "shift track up" or "shift track down" would be a huge step. The dragging is simply a visual shortcut for basic, missing functionality.

Adobe plsssssssssssssssss

+1 to Taran's suggestion. This could also be solved by requiring Alt+Left Click+Drag as well.

Side note: For audio, I'd also love to be able to drag tracks around in the Track Mixer.

I STRONGLY suggest that you have to click on the wrench, then enable "layer dragging mode," before this behavior becomes available. Then, you can drag tracks around with left click+ drag, and turn it back off when you're done.

If this feature cannot be turned off, AND it uses left click + drag, that's far too EASY to accidentally set off. Everyone's going to have to be super careful to not move the cursor at all when they're just trying to click to lock tracks or solo or make them invisible or whatever. And then Adobe is gonna get a lot of angry people complaining on the forums that their tracks keep getting out of order.

By making it a toggle-able setting, everyone's needs are satisfied.

This should - at the very least - be added for audio tracks. I usually have 12-13 tracks, and sometimes need to compare the timing of track 1 to track 13 - which requires a ton of vertical screen real estate. If I could just drag tracks around (or better yet, group them into track folders like a proper DAW), things would be much easier.

Ridiculous not to have this in 2012. Oh wait...it's 2020!

It would be piece of cake for them! Such a shame that they dont care about this really basic feature. We are wasting time adding tracks, copy, paste... come on guys!! Lets do that!

Same here. Coming from Vegas Pro, where I rearrange track order all the time when creativity changes, it is pretty amazing that I can't do that in Premiere Pro. Copying all clips from a long track to another without losing keyframes or missing position is pretty difficult. ADOBE, come on!

This string is over two-years old and still no fix from Adobe?
