Windows multi-monitor setup mismatched identifying numbers [Windows 8.1]

I've got a bit of a strange and rather should-not-happen problem on Windows 8.1 using multimonitor setup.

I have two Dell P2314T 23" FHD Touch screen displays which today I plugged in my Surface Pro 3 for the first time (usually I worked with 1 of them, but for various reasons today I needed both). Using original Docking station I plugged in two miniDP to HDMI adapters and connected them to be as second and third monitor. Voila, the picture came up, running Touch calibration wizard recognized the touch panels and all looked well -> except that it's not.

The Identifying numbers of windows are mixed up and can't be changed.

The positions of the screens are as follows:1 (Surface Pro 3 integrated display)2 (Dell P2314T 1, in the middle)3 (Dell P2314T 2, on the right)

So it goes 1-2-3. However, when I press Identify button in Windows Screen resolution settings form, the monitors are identified as 1-3-2. The forms and mouse follows the correct pattern and direction using 1-2-3 configuration, while they are identified as 1-3-2.

Anyone have any idea what could cause windows to get so confused and how to fix this?

Reboot did not help, so some more deep-explanatory options and solutions would be welcome.

Thanks.
