The order of USB ports is a very complex issue, and is what cause the
delay in the release of 5.18. It is to do with the way the HAL /
kernel initialises, and when it is able to deal with the init requests
for ports.
Anyway, as configured, the order of devices is - rear ports, internal
stick, card reader, front ports.
As such, if you use pen drives on the front ports, rather than the
rear, you should be fine.
On the rear ports, use keyboard, mouse, printer, scanner or external
hard drive.
This should give best results.
