Slackware-current Plasma/Wayland arrange monitors.

My installation is

Slackware-current 01-18-2022
Plasma 5.23.5
Qt 5.90
Wayland

I have look everywhere how to arrange my monitors in my slackware KDE configuration. Because of my desk arrangement at the office and at home I am unable to set physically my second monitor to the right of my notebook.
Is possible to configure my second monitor to the left of my notebook. Enable me to move my app windows the right way from one monitor to the other.

For Wayland/Plasma5 : start System Settings -> Display and Monitor then simply (with the mouse) drag the screens (monitors) in your proffered position/order, finally clicking the "Apply" button.

The order of monitors will be preserved in future, BUT be warned that booting on a X11/Plasma5 session will mess the order, as well will do booting in Wayland/Plasma5 after usage of X11/Plasma5. Looks like somehow their configuration differ.

Hi LuckyCyborg. I already try it. The system tell me to apply the changes but nothing changes. Is like my configuration is readonly. If I close the configuration panel and open it again, is like I haven't do any changes.
