Multi-Display Order with DP1.2?

Question

I'm new to using 2 monitors side-by-side using DP1.2 cables. Does it matter what order one chains multiple monitors when chaining two side-by-side? I currently connecting the computer to the left display using a Dell provided DP->DPmini cable and am then chaining its DP out to the right display using another DP->DPmini cable. Is there any advantage to having the computer DP cable go first to the right monitor before going to the left one? Perhaps it makes no difference ...but I thought I'd ask anyway in case there's some known issue that makes one method preferred over the other. Russell

It doesn't make a difference. As long as the #1 primary monitor is DP 1.2 Enable/MST On and the #2 secondary slaved monitor is DP 1.2 Disable/MST off, its fine.
