Is it possible to set order of systems to backup?

I am using BE 8.5. I have used the 'Job Definitions'->'Selections' tab many times and I am getting a little tired of the Auto-Alpha-ordering of the list of servers that I need to backup. I have switched from 'graphics' to 'text' and tried the clunky editor and it is a REAL PAIN to try to set the order of the backup items at the server/system/drive level... perhaps under this interface it is simply not possible?
I still don't know why this interface is so darn clunky/limited but that is another story and I probably don't want to know the history of BE development anyway. ;)

The reason I wanted to set the order of backup items is simply that I may not have enough tapes to back up all the systems in my list so I wanted to set the priority order of systems to backup for that reason alone.

Any suggestions?
