Currently I now run x2 Huawei Mateviews with the left one the main display and the right one as an extended display via my Mac Studio.
Both monitors are connected by USB-C and in displays, I'm sure they are set up correct in displays.
However, when I restart my machine or even wake it up after a short time, often, but not always, the screens swap places with the left now being right and moving docs from one to the other now back to front and going the the wrong way.
How do I keep the displays to stay where they are after shutdown etc?

I also run 2x Huawei Mateview and the same issues happens. This is a bug across all Monterey releases... Just for curiosity how's your server Windowserver process? How much memory does it consumer? Plus, 16 or 32GB model?

But yeah I know the pain, I also have a iPad Pro hooked up via Sidecar and it's a mess whenever I have to sleep my computer and bring it back up.

There's no fix right now, there's a couple of apps where it can do it automatically but it's not a 100% working solution either.

Open up your 'Activity Monitor' and check this process

I'm asking because this is the one that shows the memory usage for all background stuff including GPU memory used by the external dipslay
