The monitors maintain proper arrangement, but the windows on the left and right monitors intermittently swap places after the displays sleep. The windows that were in the middle are still in the middle, but the left and right monitors now have the other's windows after the displays wake up. The dock is still on the left, and the mouse still moves between the monitors correctly, but the windows have switched places.
Mac Studio, macOS 14.3
This sounds like the full Computer Sleep Mode issue, rather than Displays Off in standby mode.
As a test:
Turn on "Prevent automatic sleeping when display is off" and only allowing the displays to turn off in standby mode.
Then just leave the Mac Studio on with the displays off in standby mode and only shutdown for longer times of non-use.
Another thing to to look at when windows are miss-behaving on multiple displays, is to turn off all of the boxes for Spaces.
I believe I already have that setting turned on, but I’ll double check when I get home and let you know!
I did NOT have the prevent sleeping setting turned on, and I did have the automatic rearrange settings on. Just toggled those and we will see how it behaves. Thanks for you help!
You’re welcome.

Well, it's been a few days and I haven't had any issues, so I am going to say I think it is resolved!
Thanks for the update... 👍
