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!

This is a feature that is not worth having until the day you realized how it is the perfect solution to your problem. When tracks have names; when audio tracks have a specific set of effects applied. Moving the clips and the recreating the individual track scenarios is a real pain. Re-ordering the tracks would be so easy. So I am all for this.

This would be a very useful feature. For example - I have narration on one track, interviews on another, then sfx, then music - but then I ant to change the order.

It is absolutely insane to me that you can't just move a track and reorder them, what the heck? It should take 2 seconds to do that. That's like the simplest functionality I would expect from a video editing application. Why must everything in Premiere be so convoluted?

OMFG Adobe. I've just started using PP again after a 5 year break and only because I have a subscription for other products and FFS! It is still like smashing your head against a brick wall. Every feature is so clunky and basic features completely missing. I just want to click and drag a track up or down. It can be done in every other NLE and DAW program for the last 20 years. Why do we even have to google simple things like this for PP?
Also, still no setting for the playhead to simply return to where it started after stopping. No simple LUT viewer. No simple Lumetri HSL colour sliders. I think it's time to learn Resolve.

Has this still not been added? I saw a thread from 2009 asking for the same feature and cannot believe this is still not been added.

Upvoting this. Truly a fundamental feature.

Only been using premiere for about 3 months after coming from Vegas Pro, and not having this in the software from day 1 is surprising enough, not having implemented it by now is ridiculous. Vegas may be less powerful in many ways but it's User Interface was easier for quick work.

This is absolute BULL****! You mean, I'm paying an extortion fee to RENT their software instead of being able to own it and PP doesn't have the BASIC, ELEMENTARY functionality of reordering TRACKS! I remember 20 years ago I was editing with Sony Vegas, Final Cut Pro and even iMovie and you could do that way back then. ADOBE! Are you listening to the people you willfully extort with your subsCraption fees??! Truly UN-BELIEVE-ABLE!
