So the order is not random as Mathieu was suggesting. But doesn't Max
respects the right to left order? That's how I learned about Max in the

That's what I do anytime I need to make sure the timing is correct,
mostly because I move objects in the patch. But I'd like PD to respect
the right to left order instead of the connection order. Would it be
possible?
