sorry. as noted by steve, its the order key. tracks have 2 keys, 1 for
the editor window and another for the mixer window.

the former is in the definition of a real playlist
the second is in the definition of the region list, which contains
copies of all regions in playlists, plus regions that might not
(currently) be in any playlist. note that its a *copy*, its not the same
region as is found in a playlist. you can infer that the position field
for regions in the region list is essentially meaningless.
