Triggers, inputs and outputs can be linked to different activities within a process. When an activity is linked to a trigger, input or output they will display in the order in which the activities are numbered. Process start and end points can also be linked to triggers, inputs and outputs.
Therefore, if activities are reorganised, the triggers, inputs and outputs will reorder. If there is no activity linked to the trigger, input and output, they will be listed in alphabetical order before the ones linked to the activities. By clicking on the T/I/O icons in the diagram content menu, you can view the details of the icon that you clicked on without opening the triggers, inputs and outputs tab in the diagram content menu.
