Splitting vst to multiple outputs

I am hoping you good people might be able to tell me a way of doing this
When you break down a vst instrument into separate outputs ie stereo and mono channels is there a way to not get the tracks created to go in the order you want.
Example bfd3 allows stereo and mono channels as outputs. But the stereo ones come first then the mono ones in the selection list so if I select my kick in and out snare top and bottom as 4 mono channels, then group my toms and room mics as stereo channels the order of the tracks will be toms and room then kicks and snares. I cannot drag them to the order you would like them displayed in the track window with kick and snare first.
Is there a way to alter the track order.
 
No, as far as I know. A workaround could be to have VCA or Bus channels for them, which you can order. A bit over the top, but the only thing I could come up with.
 
I ended up with routing them out to audio channels for bfd and to bus channels to audio channels for ssd3 to split the mics into mono channels, then hiding all the extra routing, bit of a long work around.

Yes, cleaner than my suggestion, but still way too much effort. I don't really understand, why the channels are fixed in the DAW. There is no real need to keep them in the order they leave the plugin, as they are named. But that's what the devs decided to do, so we need to live with it.

Yes it’s probably an easy fix for them and would make life easier 🤞🏻we might see it in a future update.
