Change order of parts output on first layer?

When printing a multi-part 3MF, or an STL with big and small pieces on the first layer - it would be nice to have a setting to print the small bits first, and big bit last.  I'm wondering if this is possible.

Reason - the small bits are more likely to fail by popping off the print bed, and it would be nice not to have to wait for the bigger bits with more surface area to finish before knowing if the print needs to be restarted or not.

Try changing the order of the parts on the parts list.

I'm talking about one part with small and large areas where it touches the bed. For example: place your palm on the desk. now with your palm down, touch all of your fingertips to the desk. Your hand is one object. 

I want to always print the fingertips before the palm on that first layer.
