Edit order of colour changes with MMU

Hi! I'm trying to print an object with a glow-in-the-dark filament, and black details. My issue now is that when the black swaps back to the glow-in-the-dark(main filament) it stains the print unless I do a ridiculous amount of purging in the wipe tower. So I added a third filament and changed the wipe tower extruder to match that so I reduce wasting my main filament. It works every other layer. I get the purge filament in between the black and the main filament on the first layer, and then the next it goes right back to black and then the main filament, THEN the wipe tower. I get that it's carrying over the filament to save on tool changes, but is there a way to ensure that the wipe tower filament stays put in between the change from black to my main filament?

First image is in the correct order with the tower printing going down, then the second is when it reverses moving back up.

RE: Edit order of colour changes with MMU

Unfortunately you can't edit the order  of filament changes
BUT.... 
You can change the order of the filaments!

I believe, at the moment you have fluorescent in filament 0ne
Sacrificial colour in Filament two and
Black in filament Five

IF you swap Fluorescent into filament two, and 
sacrificial colour into filament one, 
you should have the result that you are looking for
