Process Flow Release Resource problem

In the attached model (16.2.1) I have two identical Process Flows except for the “Release Resource”. In the first one I release the Last Acquired, in the second one I release the First Acquired. Running the model I have no differences.

What am I doing wrong?

Please refer to the User Manual's Release Resource page. You'll see a paragraph titled Releasing Numeric Resources (3rd heading) that will explain what is going on.

It seems to be working on my end. You just had numeric Resources so it only acquired a "1.00" for each resource acquired, so it's difficult to see which one is released. But I created some Operators, and marked them as the resources so you could see the difference. If you click on the token on each Process Flow after the Release activity, you can see that they release the right Operator they are supposed to.

I've reattached your model so you can see.

Please refer to Matt's answer. The documentation explains this. I was mistaken, when the Resources are numeric and have the same value they do not follow the "Release First Acquired". (See the documentation posted on Matt's answer.) If you connect the Resources to objects then the First/Last acquired should work. (See my answer above.)
