Here you go!

Move to Bottom:

function moveSelectedTracksToBottom() {
    sf.ui.proTools.appActivateMainWindow();
    sf.ui.proTools.invalidate();

    let visibleTrackNames = sf.ui.proTools.invalidate().visibleTrackNames;

    let bottomTrack = sf.ui.proTools.invalidate().trackGetByName({ name: visibleTrackNames[visibleTrackNames.length - 1] }).track;

    let selectedTrackNames = sf.ui.proTools.trackGetSelectedTracks().names;

    sf.app.proTools.extendSelectionToTracks({ trackNames: [bottomTrack.normalizedTrackName] });

    sf.ui.proTools.mainWindow.trackListPopupButton.popupMenuSelect({
        menuPath: ['Show Only Selected Tracks']
    });

    bottomTrack.trackScrollToView();

    sf.ui.proTools.trackSelectByName({
        names: selectedTrackNames,
        deselectOthers: true,
    });

    let selectedTrackHeaders = sf.ui.proTools.invalidate().trackGetSelectedTracks().trackHeaders;

    let lastSelectedTrack = selectedTrackHeaders[selectedTrackHeaders.length - 1];

    let titleButtonFrame = lastSelectedTrack.titleButton.frame;

    let titleButtonFrameCenterX = titleButtonFrame.x + (titleButtonFrame.w / 2);

    let titleButtonFrameCenterY = titleButtonFrame.y + (titleButtonFrame.h / 2);

    let bottomTrackFrameHeight = bottomTrack.frame.h;

    let dragY = bottomTrackFrameHeight + lastSelectedTrack.frame.h;

    // Set posiition in middle of title button
    sf.mouse.setPosition({
        position: { x: titleButtonFrameCenterX, y: titleButtonFrameCenterY }
    });

    sf.mouse.simulateDrag({
        startPosition: { x: titleButtonFrameCenterX, y: titleButtonFrameCenterY },
        endPosition: { x: titleButtonFrameCenterX, y: titleButtonFrameCenterY + dragY }, //bottomTrack
    });

    sf.ui.proTools.mainWindow.trackListPopupButton.popupMenuSelect({
        menuPath: ['Restore Previously Shown Tracks']
    });
}

moveSelectedTracksToBottom();

Move to Top:

function moveSelectedTracksToTop() {
    sf.ui.proTools.appActivateMainWindow();
    sf.ui.proTools.invalidate();

    let visibleTrackNames = sf.ui.proTools.invalidate().visibleTrackNames;

    let topTrack = sf.ui.proTools.invalidate().trackGetByName({ name: visibleTrackNames[0] }).track;

    let selectedTrackNames = sf.ui.proTools.trackGetSelectedTracks().names;

    sf.app.proTools.extendSelectionToTracks({ trackNames: [topTrack.normalizedTrackName] });

    sf.ui.proTools.mainWindow.trackListPopupButton.popupMenuSelect({
        menuPath: ['Show Only Selected Tracks']
    });

    topTrack.trackScrollToView();

    sf.ui.proTools.trackSelectByName({
        names: selectedTrackNames,
        deselectOthers: true,
    });

    let firstSelectedTrack = sf.ui.proTools.invalidate().trackGetSelectedTracks().trackHeaders[0];

    let titleButtonFrame = firstSelectedTrack.titleButton.frame;

    let titleButtonFrameCenterX = titleButtonFrame.x + (titleButtonFrame.w / 2);

    let titleButtonFrameCenterY = titleButtonFrame.y + (titleButtonFrame.h / 2);

    let topTrackFrameHeight = topTrack.frame.h;

    // Set posiition in middle of title button
    sf.mouse.setPosition({
        position: { x: titleButtonFrameCenterX, y: titleButtonFrameCenterY }
    });

    sf.mouse.simulateDrag({
        startPosition: { x: titleButtonFrameCenterX, y: titleButtonFrameCenterY },
        endPosition: { x: titleButtonFrameCenterX, y: titleButtonFrameCenterY - topTrackFrameHeight }, //topTrack
    });

    sf.ui.proTools.mainWindow.trackListPopupButton.popupMenuSelect({
        menuPath: ['Restore Previously Shown Tracks']
    });
}

moveSelectedTracksToTop();

This is great. Is there a tweak we can make? having the smallest issue when the first track is a folder. its putting the track inside the folder rather than before it?

Thanks in advance!!

Hi, @Jack_Green,

Changing line 41 to this seems to do the trick for moving to the top track at all track heights and regardless if the first track is a folder. I'm just shifting the y value up 10px:

endPosition: { x: titleButtonFrameCenterX, y: titleButtonFrameCenterY - topTrackFrameHeight - 10 }, //topTrack

Full script:

function moveSelectedTracksToTop() {
    sf.ui.proTools.appActivateMainWindow();
    sf.ui.proTools.invalidate();

    // get visible track names
    let visibleTrackNames = sf.ui.proTools.invalidate().visibleTrackNames;

    let topTrack = sf.ui.proTools.invalidate().trackGetByName({ name: visibleTrackNames[0] }).track;

    let selectedTrackNames = sf.ui.proTools.trackGetSelectedTracks().names;

    sf.app.proTools.extendSelectionToTracks({ trackNames: [topTrack.normalizedTrackName] });

    sf.ui.proTools.mainWindow.trackListPopupButton.popupMenuSelect({
        menuPath: ['Show Only Selected Tracks']
    });

    topTrack.trackScrollToView();

    sf.ui.proTools.trackSelectByName({
        names: selectedTrackNames,
        deselectOthers: true,
    });

    let firstSelectedTrack = sf.ui.proTools.invalidate().trackGetSelectedTracks().trackHeaders[0];

    let titleButtonFrame = firstSelectedTrack.titleButton.frame;

    let titleButtonFrameCenterX = titleButtonFrame.x + (titleButtonFrame.w / 2);

    let titleButtonFrameCenterY = titleButtonFrame.y + (titleButtonFrame.h / 2);

    let topTrackFrameHeight = topTrack.frame.h;

    // Set posiition in middle of title button
    sf.mouse.setPosition({
        position: { x: titleButtonFrameCenterX, y: titleButtonFrameCenterY }
    });

    sf.mouse.simulateDrag({
        startPosition: { x: titleButtonFrameCenterX, y: titleButtonFrameCenterY },
        // CW EDIT - subtracting 10 from the top track frame height will ensure that the source track is not dropped into a track folder
        endPosition: { x: titleButtonFrameCenterX, y: titleButtonFrameCenterY - topTrackFrameHeight - 10 }, //topTrack
    });

    sf.ui.proTools.mainWindow.trackListPopupButton.popupMenuSelect({
        menuPath: ['Restore Previously Shown Tracks']
    });
}

moveSelectedTracksToTop();

Great script, @nathansalefski!
