I believe that setting uses a 0 instead of the decimal, so you'll put "302, 301, 1, 2".


Hi Owen, is there an update to this post, I upgraded to version 10.1.2 on W11 & now have the same problem

Owen, is it possible to use this(or some other method) to re-arrange the order of splits, not just monitors? I've a setup that's 3, 1, 2 physically, with 3 in portrait mode and split so one split is on top of the other. I was hoping to chagne the "next/previous" order of 3.2 and 3.1.

As it stands, it goes 3.1, 3.2, 1, 2. But I would like it to go 3.2, 3.1, 1, 2. The registry key/advanced option didn't seem to work, unless I have the wrong syntax? I've input it as "3.2, 3.1, 1, 2". ]]> RE: v9.5 Beta 2 - Move Window to Next/Prev Monitor - Wrong Order with Custom Monitor Splits https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/v95-beta-2-move-window-to-nextprev-monitor-wrong-order-with-custom-monitor-splits/?ID=ff8d0cf0-50de-4eed-a7d9-1f4ba281c685#19 Wed, 09 Feb 2022 19:28:01 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/v95-beta-2-move-window-to-nextprev-monitor-wrong-order-with-custom-monitor-splits/?ID=ff8d0cf0-50de-4eed-a7d9-1f4ba281c685#19 DisplayFusion

(edit): I tried applying the info as provided and it's NOT very clear. I eventually got it to work, but it took a while.

Might I suggest (for laymen) rather than listing the key as:

HKCU\Software\Binary Fortress Software\DisplayFusion\MonitorsForceOrder

that you list it as:

HKCU\Software\Binary Fortress Software\DisplayFusion\

with a "new string value" of "MonitorsForceOrder" and the values as listed.

Perhaps also the layman won't understand that HKCU stands for: HKEY_Current_User ]]> RE: v9.5 Beta 2 - Move Window to Next/Prev Monitor - Wrong Order with Custom Monitor Splits https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/v95-beta-2-move-window-to-nextprev-monitor-wrong-order-with-custom-monitor-splits/?ID=ff8d0cf0-50de-4eed-a7d9-1f4ba281c685#16 Mon, 07 Feb 2022 19:15:33 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/v95-beta-2-move-window-to-nextprev-monitor-wrong-order-with-custom-monitor-splits/?ID=ff8d0cf0-50de-4eed-a7d9-1f4ba281c685#16 DisplayFusion DisplayFusion tries to order the monitors from top left, to bottom right, but various monitor setups can return odd results.

If the order isn't correct, or you would prefer to have it changed, you can use our "Monitor Order" advanced setting to adjust it: https://www.displayfusion.com/AdvancedSettings/?Version=9.9.99.112#general_monitororder

If not, how does it choose order. I have a left monitor (2), and middle top (3) and bottom (1) monitor and a right monitor (4). I assumed it would go clockwise based on the windows monitor numbers: bottom middle (1), left (2), top middle (3) and right (4), but instead it goes left, top mid, bottom mid, right. Is there a way to tell it the preferred order?

I have 3 displays total and 2 of them are in portrait with horizontal monitor splits. My setup looks like this:
https://i.snag.gy/ca0kmZ.jpg

As you can see, I manually labeled my split monitors with bright red text so I can more easily illustrate the problem.

In the years that I've been using DisplayFusion, the order in which a window would move (when using the "Move Window to Next Monitor" hotkey) between monitors is as follows:
2.1 -> 2.2 -> 1 -> 3.1 -> 3.2
If pressed again, the window would then wrap back around to 2.1 again.

After updating to the newest beta however, the order in which the windows move now is as follows:
2.1 -> 1 -> 3.1 -> 2.2 -> 3.2
If pressed again, the window wraps back around to 2.1 again.

I don't know if this is just a simple bug or if this was an intentional change in the way DisplayFusion perceives monitor order or something, but clearly its a bit offputting to change something like this that has been working the same way for many, many years. Please let me know if I can provide any logs or anything else that would be helpful. I will wait a half a day or so before reverting back to the previous beta in case there is something you need from me (while I'm still running the new beta). Thanks for your help.
