IntelliJ Tomcat Deployment Order of Artifacts

Question

I'm trying to figure out how to modify the default startup/deployment ordering of artifacts in IntelliJ (I'm on IJ 11). It looks like it uses basic string ordering (ascending) to deploy the artifacts and it does so sequentially. I want to change it up a bit so I can control the order in which my artifacts are started.

I've searched the web and stack overflow for this and haven't found an answer. (SO Link: How to control webapp deployment order when restarting tomcat)

Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

I'm answering my own question because it turns out this feature was not implemented for Tomcat. I submitted a feature request for it and you can track it at this link: http://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/IDEA-89803#comment=27-367677
