I need help in solving this xmodmap -e "pointer = 1 2 3 10 11 4 5 6 7 8 9"

Explain the numbers to me and how they are set in that order.

For example, why is it 1, 2, 3, then 10 and 11? I know the number to its mouse function but I need to know how to put it in the right order for xmodmap.

I'm pretty sure it's because not all mice have the buttons mapped in the same order, and if you're not using a proprietary driver, which in Linux you won't, obviously, then you have to remap the order of the keys.

Basically, it's saying:
set my button order like this = "click1 click2 click3..."

I had a 7-button mouse, and I had to map 6 and 7 to the 4 and 5 positions, because otherwise the mousewheel didn't work. It looks like 10 and 11 are mousewheel up and down.
