Wrong monitor/display setup after system restart and wrong display identifiers

[Piotr]

I'd like to report two bugs, that I think might be connected, so I've placed them in one report.

My display configuration setup breaks every time I restart my laptop. Moreover, numbers marking monitors in display settings (where one can drag&drop displays to align them properly) do not match numbers that actually are assigned to them.

Breaking config after restart, steps to reproduce:
1) Configure 3 displays (one with landscape orientation, one portrait right, one is laptop built in display) in default GNOME settings panel in Ubuntu 21.10. Configuration works as intended
2) Restart computer
3) Now monitors are out of order and with wrong orientation
What I want to happen is to preserve display configuration after system restart

Incorrect display numbers, steps to reproduce:
1) Go to display settings, find an area where you can drag&drop displays to align them
2) Click on this area, numbers appear in top-left corner of each monitor
3) Notice that those numbers do not match of what I see in display settings window
It makes configuring displays confusing.

My monitor setup:
1) Built-in display in laptop Dell Latitude E7470
2) One monitor connected through VGA
3) One monitor connected through DP (DisplayPort)

System version:
$ lsb_release -rd
Description: Ubuntu 21.10
Release: 21.10
