Change audio track order

[Ninko85]

Hi,
Is it possible to change the order the audio tracks are in?

Thanks

I'm not entirely sure how to do that with ffmppeg, but if it's possible, then maybe it could be done. maybe as a workaround you could export each track as a separate file. then drag them back in one by one in the order you want, and export your file with all the imported tracks

That's the only way I could think of too, but I just thought I'd ask incase I was missing something.

Thanks

After searching, does this help @mifi

Ok cool. I think the code in losslesscut that handles tracks and editing is quite complex so I'm not sure how much work to add this, but maybe if it's a popular feature request, then it can be implemented some day

Is there an issue to upvote for this, or should that be done just in the question itself?

I've created an issue #1942 - you can leave a thumbs up there. it also describes a workaround for how to do it manually.

Can this be done by editing the track metadata?
I tried adding the tag value "index" and adding the correct order numbers, but after exporting it didn't make any changes.
Any thoughts?

No, that won't work unfortunately.
