Anyone got an example/help-file that explains the intricacies of how the order in which you place cables affects the order in which the operation is done? I attempted some 'further' maths last night with the standard pd functions and although I finally got it to work, there were definitely some very strange things going on, even though I was attempting to control the ordering/flow with many bangs. Some things that should have worked didn't at all, so I ended up backing up and finding another way to do it.... and another.
usually Pd works first connection created is first connection executed. you can also use the trigger object, which determines the execution from right (first) to left (last) order. this also makes your order visible for someone else or for later times. marius.

It's best to never rely on the order, in which connections were made, for the functionality of your patches. If you need to be sure of the order, use trigger objects, that output thes messages from left to right:
[t f f b] gives: 1. bang, 2. float, 3. float in that order. See 2.control.examples/03.connections.pd
For signals' order you might want to read 3.audio.examples/73.control.blocksize.pd ciao

I think you meant right to left.
