Order

The order of the strips is not random or chronological. The sorting logic has four stages:
  1. Sort by whether the strip is a bus or not. Non-buses are displayed first.
  2. Sort by vertical position in the modular mixer (top -> bottom).
  3. Sort by horizontal position in the modular mixer (left -> right).
  4. Slightly rearrange the strips order so that the audio flow always goes from left to right.
