Maintaining continuity of mouse cursor between slides

As I've continued to play with this feature I've found that mouse continuity is tied to the numbering of the slides. If I have slides that transition from a slide numbered 1.1 to one numbered 1.2 and then to one numbered 1.3 with cursors on each, they will connect. If I change slides around and have 1.1 jump to 1.3 and then to 1.2, the cursor will maintain its connections for the numeric sequence 1.1, 1.2, and then 1.3. 

I had this happen in a project with a large number of slides where I had to insert an additional step between 2 slides. I duplicated a slide that already had most of the elements I needed and then changed the jump to triggers to insert it between the 2 existing slides. In the project, the slides are now in the numbered sequence 3.9, 3.11, 3.10, and 3.12 as that's the order in which they are presented to the user. 

When the slide transitions from 3.9 to 3.11, the cursor on 3.11 starts where the cursor ends on 3.10. Then, when the slide transitions from 3.11 to 3.10, the cursor starts where it ended on 3.9. Finally, when it transitions from 3.10 to 3.12, the cursor starts on 3.12 where it ended on 3.11. 

I copied and pasted the slides into a new project which renumbered them but maintained their sequencing. You can see in the attached example that, as the slides automatically progress, the cursor's start points jump around because it follows the slide numbering not the viewing sequence.

For instance, the third slide we view is 1.4 (numerically the fourth slide). When that slide loads, the cursor jumps to the end point from slide 1.3 even though we haven't viewed that slide yet. Then slide 1.3 loads with the cursor's start point jumping to align with the end point from slide 1.2 which we actually viewed 2 slides ago.

is there a way to force the slides to renumber themselves into the correct sequence so the cursor will align?

EDIT: I figured it out! I didn't realize you could resequence slide numbering by dragging and dropping them. For the slides that were out of sequence, I just dragged them below the slide that they were supposed to come after numerically and a little arrow appeared. When you release the mouse, it reorders the slide numbers so that the one you just "dropped" will come, numerically, after then one you dropped it under. This doesn't change anything regarding slide ordering based on triggers so everything is maintained in that sense. Sorry to be a hassle! Thank you for your help!
