Ok I have a question I'm dying to get an answer from dunno if it's been answered yet but anyways. Ok, I I'm trying to create a mix/demo I have all the songs in my crate titled "demo" I have the tracklist the way I want it. I normally don't import them from serato itself I use windows search option and search my hard drive for my songs and drop them in the crate. Now when I have my tracklist ordered the way I want it when I close serato and reopen all my songs get rearranged everytime and I have to manually make it the way I want all the time doesn't even matter if it's #'ed correctly from 1-20 it gets rearranged and I have to start all over or move files up or down. Is this a bug? This is very annoying and quite dissapointing makes it very difficult. Please help I'm using the latest version of serato.

Sorry I should of clarified more I don't mean "all my songs" I meant all my songs in the "demo" crate get rearranged and I have to sort them back like they were doesn't matter if it's ordered by bpm's it still gets rearranged when I close & reopen serato. Why can't serato recognize the way I want to keep it and save it? Is there a way of doing this?

Click the # column to sort by number, then order the tracks. Also make sure all your tracks are coming from the same drive, if you are putting songs from your internal and say and external drive in the same crate, they won't keep their order.

Gotcha, but if you order them by song/track serato should recognize that you want them in numerical order. Would make it even easier for dj's to just move songs up or down and serato change the order of the numbers by your songlist.
