Multi-function ports on a computing device

A computing device comprising:

• a plurality of multiplexers;
• a reordering switch coupled to the plurality of multiplexers;
• a display controller coupled to the reordering switch;
• a data controller coupled to the plurality of multiplexers;
• and
• a connector coupled to the plurality of multiplexers,
• the display controller providing a plurality of display data signals to the reordering switch,
• the reordering switch providing at least one of the plurality of display data signals to at least one of the plurality of multiplexers,
• the data controller providing at least one data signal to at least one of the plurality of multiplexers, and
• the at least one of the plurality of multiplexers providing the at least one display data signal to a respective at least one contact included on the connector.

A non-transitory, machine-readable medium having instructions stored thereon, the instructions, when executed by a processor, cause a computing device to:

• determine an orientation of a plug inserted into a connector included in the computing device;
• provide, by a display controller included in the computing device, a plurality of display data signals to a reordering switch included in the computing device;
• select, by the reordering switch and based on the determined orientation of the plug, a display data signal from the plurality of display data signals;
• provide, by the reordering switch, the selected display data signal to at least one of a plurality of multiplexers, the plurality of multiplexers being orientated back-to-back;
• provide, by a data controller included in the computing device, a data signal to the at least one of the plurality of multiplexers;
• enable the at least one of the plurality of multiplexers;
• select the display data signal for output by the at least one of the plurality of multiplexers;
• and
• provide, by the at least one of the plurality of multiplexers, the display data signal to a contact included on the connector.
