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!

Thankyou Robert Hörold and to everyone else willing to call Adobe - the biggest creative software publisher in the world - out here.

When I see the title of this request, for functionality as basic as reordering tracks, I don't know whether to laugh or cry.

Then I laugh, because I've been enjoying Resolve for the past year.

Hello Adobe. This feature isn't a "maybe would be cool". We're asking you to give us a spoon instead of a fork to eat our soup. And you advertise Premiere with "tools that just make sense". So please do something for your money and use some common sense. Imagine having a browser, and you can't move your tabs...

Been using Prem Pro for around 7 years and presumed there was a quick way to reorder tracks and I'd just forgotten it.

This is what frustrates me sometimes about Adobe - they're too concerned with adding new bells and whistles to apps when in reality most users would prefer them absolutely nailing the basics that we'd use day in day out i.e. reordering tracks in PP or spellcheck in After Effects etc.

I will say though, the auto-captioning function that's recently come to PP is a brilliant timesaver.

This is really something you would expect to be a feature from the very start, it's not a complicated action in the slightest and would get a lot of use, and apparently other video editing programs already have it....
So?? Where is it Adobe?

Imagine paying Adobe $53 per month and still waiting on some basic-*** request like this to get fixed. Moving my business to Resolve.

Extremely basic feature and I'm genuinely astounded that this isn't possible. It's literally a layer re-ordering feature which is standard in most Adobe packages. Unbelievable amount of headache to have to work around this. Extremely poor, and even worse is how long ago this was originally posted as a request.

Premiere newbie here, looking for the "how to" on rearranging the track stacking order. Can't????? You're not serious.
