[PD] in an abstraction or subpatch, what determines the order of inlets/outlets?

Trivia:
If you put a bunch of [inlet] objects at the exact same x position in a canvas, the order in 
which they were created (from most recent to least recent) corresponds to the left-to-right 
order of the subpatch's inlets on the parent patch.  In other words: if you have: 
[inlet]
[inlet]
 
There's no way to tell by looking what the ordering is.  So, obviously, don't do that, but 
also keep in mind that it's a good idea in general to keep all [inlet] objects in a horizontal row so one can quickly grasp their left-to-right order merely by looking at the patch:
 
[inlet]     [inlet]
 
is much clearer than:
 
[inlet] [inlet]
 [inlet]
 
(Same for [outlet].)

In other words, when I edit my subpatch, how can I tell which inlets/outlets in the subpatch correspond to which in box in the main patch representing the subpatch?


I'm sure this is a common question, but a quick glance through the docs and on google didn't turn anything up. 


thanks,
