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's maddening that this still hasn't been addressed. This simple but HIGHLY useful feature has been available in Vegas for years. Does Adobe even read these?

Vegas pro and Vegas Movie Studio still have this easy option. Perhaps Adobe cannot work out how its done, or lost interest in their fan base.

Come on Adobe, I still use the product like tens of thousands of other premiere elements users. Is it that hard to change that it is not possible to do? If there was a will I am sure there would be a way to deliver this feature.

FOUR YEARS and over FOUR HUNDRED votes and still this is not a "priority" for Adobe - this is why customers are moving to Davinci Resolve ...

Just about the weirdest feature not to have. Terrible.

Found this thread because I was shocked I couldn't find a way to move tracks around. I'm a Davinci Resolve user primarily, but take over edits from my colleagues who use Premiere from time to time. This is one more way I can show them how easy life can be in Resolve. Come on, Adobe - This is way too simple, and way too frequently needed to not have a solution!

Came here from a Google search on how to reorder tracks. Pretty basic NLE functionality.

I'd just like to add that BlackMagic & Davinci Resolve are killing it. I've only dabbled in Resolve, but it really is looking like a good permanent option. Especially for freelance editors.

Strange roadblocks such as unmovable tracks will turn people away from Premiere and Adobe. Professionals and novices alike.

We do understand that creating these kinds of features in software with old and baked-in code can be problematic, but perhaps what Adobe needs is to build a new (and separate) version of Premiere from scratch to make a less buggy and modern NLE. Imagine if Adobe came at BlackMagic with a new NLE (one that is familiar to Premiere users) and it's modern design and features crushed the old Premiere? That'd be incredible.

Adobe - this is such a basic feature request. You've got 416 up-votes from many professional editors. Please do this.

After years of using Davinci Resolve, and needing to use Premiere Pro for a project that requires compatibility with other studios, I just noticed that this is not possible in PP. How can this be?!

Adobe, for all that is holy, please take care of this feature...too many people have asked for it for too long!
