And does that order also apply on the EVENT_DETECT end? the you pointer is set to the closest, could this be because the closest entity is the last to be triggered? the manual doesnt seem to go very deep here, and a more thorough explanation would be appreciated..

But you could set it up the way you want to any way but using the CASE statement.
