      Removing the silent time from strip-silenced regions

First, you need the following conditions to be in place:

A. Make sure <kbd>Regions List</kbd> > <kbd>Sort by</kbd> is set to <kbd>Name / Ascending</kbd>.  This is the default setting.
B. Make sure <kbd>Show > Auto-Created</kbd> is checked.
C. The original region, before using StripSilence, must have a unique name (not just a different number at the end).  Eg., if it's named Tammy's_Read-01, there should be no other file in the session named Tammy's_Read-xx (where xx = any number) before you process it with StripSilence.  StripSilence will create a series of regions named Tammy's_Read-xx. These first three conditions allow the Regions List to show those newly created regions in chronological order.
D. Make sure your Timeline Drop Order is Left-to-Right.

Now, it's a simple two-step process:

1. Clear the track or make a new playlist.
2. Shift-select all the SS-created regions and drag them onto the track.
