Message ordering

Hello everyone,

I'm learning max with the help of the "Electronic and sound design " Manual wrote by Alessandro Cipriani and Maurizio Giri.
And in the chapter IA.6 Message ordering with trigger (page 158) I came across a problem with the examples.

In the attached screenshot you can see the cables patched differently, but despite what the book is saying the order of the results is exactly the same.
I'm using max7 and the book is based on max6, I was wondering if this was normal or if I made any mistakes while reproducing those examples.

Could someone explain me what is happening here ?

Thanks in advance.
