How can I change the order of scheduled source triggers at time 0?

[ FlexSim 25.0.2 ]

Hello everyone,

I have a model with several Scheduled Sources that trigger at time 0. The problem is that they trigger in the order they were created. I tried changing their order by moving my object to the top of the data tree, but it didn't work. Is there a solution to change the order without deleting and recreating these objects?

Thank you in advance.

Attached file shows that order in modet tree rank is responsible for order of execution of reset triggers. The order of creation is shown by a number in each object name. Each of them print their name into an output console. I have moved last source a rank up in the tree.changeRank_changingExecutionTrigger.fsm

Thank you for your response. However, I feel that it works well for objects in the Model interface but not in the process flow. You will find attached a test with the process flow.changerank-changingexecutiontrigger PROCESSFLOW.fsm

The order seems to depend on an internal list of couplings in the process flow's attribute tree (search for blockInstances if you're curious).

This list appears to be rebuilt when you open the model.

You can move the activities in the tree to put them in the order you want, then just save and reopen the model.
