How to change print colour order in slicer?

I have a part that has 5 colors per layer and i was wondering how i could possibly change the print order of the colors in the slicer. I can drag and drop the order in the part tree but it makes no difference when exporting to the printer. I know i could move spools around but is there a way to do it in the slicer?

No,  Sequence is:-

1st layer Fil1, Fil2, Fil3 Fil4, Fil5
Second layer Fil5, fil1, fil2, fil3 fil4
Third Layer Fil4, Fil1, Fil2, Fil3 Fil5
the last two rows repeat whilst all five colours are in use, 
where the colours exist on a layer, the last colour on the previous layer is always the first colour on the next layer, 
And the remaining colours on a layer print from lowest number to highest number, if a high number has already been printed on that layer, it is leapfrogged... for instance layer three leapfrogs filament 4 and goes to filament five

Such a pain moving spools around. Wish the slicer had a way of easily selecting the order. Hint hint Prusa!

Slicer hints are more likely to be hears on the Prusa Slicer Git Hub, where the developers hang out!
