Get how many monitors are connected.

[John Hendrikx]

In what order would you want them?

Windows itself isn't all that reliable either -- it will randomly 
reorder my screens sometimes when resuming from sleep depending on how 
quickly all the monitors respond. Currently my primary monitor is screen 
2 according to Windows.

Using the bounds you can determine however what is the left/right most 
screen and which screens go in between.
