MMU3 1st Level Color selection

How can I control in which order the PrusaSlicer selects the filament for the first layer.

I have two filament colors on the first layer and would like to define which filament color the printing is started with. At the moment it always seems to be the case that it starts with the lowest extruder number and the corresponding color.

So far I have only found a complex mechanical solution, namely to sort the colors on the MMU3 the way I want. Admittedly not an elegant solution - isn't it easier to set up in the PriusaSlicer? In the search I only found one unanswered post on the topic:

RE: MMU3 1st Level Color selection

Hello, have you found any solution to this? I'm having the same issue, and my solution so far is the same as yours: arranging the filaments in the needed order beforehand, but that is quite annoying as different models means unloading all filaments and rearranging them.

In particular I have a model that only needs a filament (black) for parts of the 1st layer, then switches to a different one (white) for the rest of that layer and all the rest of the piece. It would seem obivous that the slicer should slice the piece to start with black, then do just 1 filament change an do everything else. But if I have white loaded on slot 1, then it will do the white partes of 1st layer, switch to black, complete that layer, then switch back to white, effectively doubling the number of changes needed, which makes aboslutely no sense.
