Arranging tracks
To drag a track to a new position
1. Position the mouse just to the right of the track number, over the track icon of the track you want
to move.
The cursor changes to an up/down arrow.
2. Drag the track to its new location, and release the mouse button.
SONAR rearranges and renumbers the tracks.
You can sort the tracks in a project based on several parameters, in either ascending or descending
order:
No matter how you sort, blank tracks always go to the end of the list.
Note that track numbers are used for reference only. When you re-arrange the order of tracks, they
are automatically assigned sequential numbers based on the order in which they are displayed in
the Track view.
To sort the tracks
1. Click the Track view Tracks menu and choose Sort Tracks to open the Sort Tracks dialog box.
2. Choose the attribute by which to sort from the Sort By list:
Sort by What happens
Name Ascending puts track in alphabetic order, descending puts them in
reverse order
Size, output, or channel Ascending puts them in increasing numeric order, descending puts them
in decreasing numeric order
Muted, archived, selected Ascending puts qualifying tracks at the end, descending puts them at
the beginning
Table 42.
Attribute How it works
Name If you choose this attribute, SONAR puts the tracks into alphabetical order, either ascending
or descending, depending on what you choose in the Order list.
Muted If you choose this attribute, SONAR puts all the muted tracks at either the top or bottom of
the Tracks window, depending on whether you choose descending (top) or ascending
(bottom) in the Order list.
Archived If you choose this attribute, SONAR puts all the archived tracks at either the top or bottom
of the Tracks window, depending on whether you choose descending (top) or ascending
(bottom) in the Order list.
