Partitions rearranged
After a restore I noticed the partitions were in a different order, what caused this?
Top image is after and bottom was before the restore, and the primary un-formatted partition is a different size
Any help here is appreciated. Note it's another program that's showing partitions, but they did get rearranged.
The last partition is also 1MB smaller?

The positions of the Microsoft System Reserved and System EFI partitions should make no difference to the ability of the computer to boot correctly and my own computer show the same arrangement with the MSR before the EFI partition as it has been for the last 4 years or so.
Acronis will try to resize partitions automatically to fit when any difference in drive size is encountered during a restore.

So far acronis is the only one that's done this. In fact the linux boot disk restores rearranged, I tried the winre boot disk and it actually put all in corder and size.
Macrium Reflect, Image for WIndows (Terabyte Unlimited), and R-Drive has never done this.
