Yup it should work, you just need to enter a 0 instead of a decimal for the splits. For example, instead of 1.1, you would enter 101.

Hope that helps! ]]> RE: Modify Monitor Order? https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/modify-monitor-order/?ID=217abc53-aeee-4d34-a87e-b27c76583e46#15 Thu, 05 Nov 2020 17:25:44 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/modify-monitor-order/?ID=217abc53-aeee-4d34-a87e-b27c76583e46#15 DisplayFusion Does this ordering override also apply to monitor slices? For example, can I enter 1.1,1.2,1,3,etc? My issue is that 'next/prev to monitor' has to cycle through the top row of all monitors and the moves to the bottom row of all monitors. I prefer it to cycle through all slices of one monitor before doing the same on the next monitor. ]]> RE: Modify Monitor Order? https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/modify-monitor-order/?ID=217abc53-aeee-4d34-a87e-b27c76583e46#14 Mon, 08 Apr 2013 19:34:42 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/modify-monitor-order/?ID=217abc53-aeee-4d34-a87e-b27c76583e46#14 DisplayFusion Awesome, glad to hear it's working now! Good point about the quotes on the help page. I'm going to look into whether it's possible to have DisplayFusion automatically remove the quotes if they're entered in the Advanced Settings.

Thanks! ]]> RE: Modify Monitor Order? https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/modify-monitor-order/?ID=217abc53-aeee-4d34-a87e-b27c76583e46#13 Fri, 05 Apr 2013 21:17:37 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/modify-monitor-order/?ID=217abc53-aeee-4d34-a87e-b27c76583e46#13 DisplayFusion That was it!
I was misled by the instruction page that said:
Values:Comma separated list of monitor ID's (ex: "2, 4, 3, 1")

I also had quotes on the monitor order, which probably doesn't need quotes either. ]]> RE: Modify Monitor Order? https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/modify-monitor-order/?ID=217abc53-aeee-4d34-a87e-b27c76583e46#12 Fri, 05 Apr 2013 18:33:45 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/modify-monitor-order/?ID=217abc53-aeee-4d34-a87e-b27c76583e46#12 DisplayFusion Thanks! I just had another look at the Troubleshooting info you posted, and noticed that you've got the Ignore Monitors Advanced Setting set to "2". Could you try removing the quotes, so that only the number 2 is in the setting, and make sure there are no leading or trailing spaces?

Thanks! ]]> RE: Modify Monitor Order? https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/modify-monitor-order/?ID=217abc53-aeee-4d34-a87e-b27c76583e46#11 Thu, 04 Apr 2013 11:26:22 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/modify-monitor-order/?ID=217abc53-aeee-4d34-a87e-b27c76583e46#11 DisplayFusion Here are both... ]]> RE: Modify Monitor Order? https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/modify-monitor-order/?ID=217abc53-aeee-4d34-a87e-b27c76583e46#10 Wed, 03 Apr 2013 18:59:42 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/modify-monitor-order/?ID=217abc53-aeee-4d34-a87e-b27c76583e46#10 DisplayFusion Ok, that's really strange. I've just tested it here again with the same setup as you (monitors 4, 3, 1 from left-to-right, with monitor 2 on top), and setting it to ignore 2 works like a champ.

Could you send me a screenshot of either the DisplayFusion Monitor Configuration window, or the Windows Screen Resolution settings? ]]> RE: Modify Monitor Order? https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/modify-monitor-order/?ID=217abc53-aeee-4d34-a87e-b27c76583e46#9 Mon, 01 Apr 2013 21:27:14 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/modify-monitor-order/?ID=217abc53-aeee-4d34-a87e-b27c76583e46#9 DisplayFusion Yes they are moving in the 4-2-3-1 order, with monitor 2 set to ignore. ]]> RE: Modify Monitor Order? https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/modify-monitor-order/?ID=217abc53-aeee-4d34-a87e-b27c76583e46#8 Mon, 01 Apr 2013 19:04:32 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/modify-monitor-order/?ID=217abc53-aeee-4d34-a87e-b27c76583e46#8 DisplayFusion It will still show monitor 2 in the Monitor Order in the Troubleshooting info, but the Move to Next Monitor button shouldn't move any windows to that monitor. Are they still moving there when you use the button? ]]> RE: Modify Monitor Order? https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/modify-monitor-order/?ID=217abc53-aeee-4d34-a87e-b27c76583e46#7 Fri, 29 Mar 2013 03:05:31 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/modify-monitor-order/?ID=217abc53-aeee-4d34-a87e-b27c76583e46#7 DisplayFusion That still doesn't work. The order remains 4-2-3-1 even with the 2 listed as ignore.
I have attached the troubleshooting summary.

After doing that, DisplayFusion should automatically use 4,3,1 as the monitor order. If not, please attach a copy of the info from the Settings > Troubleshooting tab and I'll do some testing here.

Here is the layout of my 4 monitors:

Code
Copy
Select All

2
4 3 1

I am trying to use the top monitor(2) as a sort of parking area, and then be able to easily move windows between the 3 monitors along the bottom(4-3-1).

I set the monitor order to "4,3,1"
and Ignore Monitors to "2"

The effective order is "4,2,1,3" instead and it isn't skipping monitor 2. I also tried adding monitor 2 into the order by setting the order to "4,3,1,2" and leaving Ignore Monitors at "2". This just seemed to change the order to "4,2,3,1"

Am I missing something here? ]]> RE: Modify Monitor Order? https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/modify-monitor-order/?ID=217abc53-aeee-4d34-a87e-b27c76583e46#4 Fri, 08 Mar 2013 20:13:27 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/modify-monitor-order/?ID=217abc53-aeee-4d34-a87e-b27c76583e46#4 DisplayFusion No worries, glad I could help! ]]> RE: Modify Monitor Order? https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/modify-monitor-order/?ID=217abc53-aeee-4d34-a87e-b27c76583e46#3 Thu, 07 Mar 2013 04:22:55 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/modify-monitor-order/?ID=217abc53-aeee-4d34-a87e-b27c76583e46#3 DisplayFusion Thanks, I had missed the advanced settings all together. ]]> RE: Modify Monitor Order? https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/modify-monitor-order/?ID=217abc53-aeee-4d34-a87e-b27c76583e46#2 Tue, 05 Mar 2013 21:39:40 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/modify-monitor-order/?ID=217abc53-aeee-4d34-a87e-b27c76583e46#2 DisplayFusion You should be able to do this using the "General: Monitor Order" option in the Advanced Settings. More info on that setting can be found here: http://www.displayfusion.com/AdvancedSettings/#general-monitororder

Please let me know if you have any follow-up questions at all.

Windows doesn't seem to allow you to change the numbering of the monitors, and Display fusion seems to have overcome this to some extent, but my monitors are not all in a row. I have seen in some old threads that it may be possible to change the order using the registry, but I never saw the specific key. Is there any way to change this in v5? ]]>
