Is there a way to arrange the order of items in the Audio Mixer list in OBS like the way you can in the source list ????
Thanks..

I noticed that they are arranged in alphabetical order. You could add numbers to rank them in priority as a fix
 
It would be nice to be able to manually arrange them without having to rename them, but rename works as a temporary workaround. Thanks for that suggestion.
 
Was wondering this myself. I have 4 audio sources, two of which are webcams and I'd like to just delete those, I'll never use them. I hid the webcams but still would like to put my mic first then order my capture cards. For now I'm going to put numbers in front like sospwa suggest.

you can right click on a track -> hide
 
Well.. I just tried renaming my main microphone. And nothing changed. I added "1 - " to the front. No change (I'm wanting it at the top). Then "A - ". No Change. Then, to see if it was trying to go in reverse order for some reason, I added "Z -". Still, it stayed in the same spot.
So I'd say that, at least with OBS 28.0.3, you can't rearrange your audio sources even with renaming them.

CORRECTION... after doing the renaming, I was still messing around. Changed from horizontal to vertical, and saw that they had moved. Changed back to horizontal layout, and my main mic is now at the top where I want it.

I guess changing the layout resets it enough to allow the new arrangement.

Just by restarting obs they change, but it's still pretty ugly to the view, it would be a nice feature to add in the future, or maybe a plugin.
 
For anyone looking for this answer, it is to add number to the beginning of the source name: 1 Mic, 2 Program, 3 Something, 4 Something Else

Thank you!! Changing the layout to vertical and then back to horizontal worked.
