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!

It would also be nice to group the video and audio tracks together on the timeline when using the ADD TRACK function.
eg:
v3
a3
v2
a2
v1
a1

This is one of the most basic features a person could want, professional or otherwise...

When editing you need to add or remove tracks in order to send the audio to the sound department. Since you include keyframes and track effects, you can't simply move the clips around.

You can't miss this functionality in a pro editing software, please add this feature.

I'm relatively new to Premiere ( a FCP holdout) and am really surprised this isn't a feature. I need to split audio tracks and rather than simply add empty tracks where I need them it sounds like I have to rename tracks, move clips and change track output channel assignments. Pretty nuts.

I am a total newbie to Adobe Premiere and wondered the same. But I think i just solved it by Holding the Ctrl-key while moving a Video or Audio. It then just inserts the content in between the other tracks.

Would be good for someone more familiar to reconfirm, since I am not sure if I understood the question correctly and if comments go back 5 years the solution shouldnt be that obvious^^

Thought it was just me being stupid not being able to work out how to do this! After ten minutes of Googling it turns out that reordering tracks is not possible and I saw queries on this going back at least five years.

This is most basic of features which every track-based application (audio and video) I've ever used has supported out of the box! How is this not possible in Premiere Pro in 2019?

If track order didn't have any impact on visibility/layering you could perhaps forgive the oversight. But it does. So it's unforgivable that currently the only solution is to insert a new temporary empty track and use it to shuffle the assets from one track to another.
