When I wake up mac, it display right display content to left and vice versa

Hi there

I have two exact same display . After I wake up the mac from display turned off or sleep, sometimes mac display right display to left display and vice verses, it seems because both display have same name/make/model, mac confuse the two… I’ll have to restart so Mac recognize which one is which one again… anyone any idea how to prevent this , instead of prevent mac from turning display off?

Display settings reversed after sleep (2021 Mac Mini w/ M1 chip) I have the new M1 Mac Mini (absolute powerhouse, love this thing) connected to two external monitors. I set the left (1) monitor as my main display and the right (2) as an external display. However, every morning when I wake it from sleep, everything is reversed. Not only does the right (2) monitor become the main display, which requires me to drag my mouse rightward to appear on the left (1) monitor, but the monitor numbers are also reversed - left (1) monitor appears as (2) and vice versa. I correct this problem manually every day, which is getting pretty tiring. Any ideas about ensuring the display settings are saved? Thanks!

When waking up the MacBook Pro just picks a random monitor to choose as first and second I am using two HP 27fw monitors in addition to my MacBook Pro. After sleep mode, the display arrangement is often changed. It seems to me that, when waking up the MacBook Pro just picks a random monitor to choose as first and second in the arrangement. Then I change the settings and the next time I happens again. I've tried to change every hardware component (cables, the monitors themselves etc.) but the problem stays. Does anyone have a permanent solution? [Re-Titled by Moderator]

Mac Mini M1 Chip - two displays Why does my Mac Mini continue to switch the right and left display? seems to be whenever it goes into sleep mode and then when you wake it up, the displays are switched. Restart puts them back right again. Main display is plugged into the HDMI port, second extended display plugged into USBC adapter with HDMI port.
