Multi-monitor help

Hey guys. I have two monitors and for some reason Windows has decided to assign my main monitor as number 2 while the secondary one is assigned as 1. I have the following:

Primary monitor - Iiyama ProLite G2773HS 27" 120Hz (this is number 2)
Secondary monitor - Acer A191HQL 18.5" 60Hz (this is number 1)

I want to swap them round so the Iiyama is 1 and the Acer is 2 but for some reason it won't let me and it's bugging out some of my games. I'm trying to play Chronicles of Riddick and it won't let me change resolution past 1366x768 which is the highest Acer resolution but not the Iiyama one. It looks like this:

Any help would be appreciated as this is doing my head in!

Can't you just click and drag?

Still doesn't change the order they're in.

No one here knows how to fix this?

how have you got them hooked up? if they are through the same sort of connection then it would be easy to switch around the way they are hooked up from the io ports on your gfx card. I.E. if your Iiyama is io port 1 dvi and the other is io port 2 dp, just switch around?
hopefully that makes sense!
As a side note, can you not just make it primary display?

It depends on what ports they're connected to on the GPU so switch the connections around.

Honestly though, it won't affect anything really as long as you have the one you want as primary set to primary.
