The dongle overlay included 5column.dtsi before 6column.dtsi, while the blecorne board definition includes them in the opposite order. ZMK's physical layout system enumerates layouts by DTS definition order, so when the central sends its selected layout INDEX to peripherals, the peripheral resolves a different layout. Dongle (was): layouts[0]=5col, layouts[1]=6col → selects 6col → sends idx 1 Blecorne: layouts[0]=6col, layouts[1]=5col → receives idx 1 → selects 5col! This caused the peripheral to use the 5-column transform (stride 10) instead of the 6-column transform (stride 12), scrambling every key position sent to the central.

Fixes the key position scramble when using blecorne halves as BLE peripherals to the Raytac dongle central.
Root cause: The dongle overlay included
5column.dtsibefore6column.dtsi, but the blecorne board definition includes them in the opposite order. ZMK enumerates physical layouts by DTS definition order, so when the central sends its selected layout index to peripherals viaSET_PHYSICAL_LAYOUT, the peripheral resolves a different layout—selecting the 5-col transform (stride 10) instead of 6-col (stride 12), which scrambles every position.Fix: Swap the include order in the dongle overlay to match blecorne (6col first, 5col second). Now both sides have
layouts[0]=6col,layouts[1]=5col.
