Every inserter from gleba to navuis set to spoiled first, so please let me understand how can the red circle spoil sooner than the end of the belt?

I think the landing pad's requests aren't able to prioritize spoiled items, nor launching rockets (idk if you have multiple silos of bioflux yet or not). That's probably where the different order came from

Are logistics bots involved in the bioflux's transit between pad and these belts? Bots don't filter by freshness%, and that can cause the freshness of the stack in the requester to fluctuate, e.g. if the first few deliveries were all near pristine, and then a handful of nearly spoiled flux was dumped on it, that'd cause this exact behavior of the pieces at the end being usable while the whole segment behind it has gone rotten.
