When scaling out, anyway to ensure the last entered contract/attached stop are closed 1st?

I have scale in turned off and scale out turned on and I use a triggered trailing stop order. If I add to the original position at some point and therefore have a separate trig trail stop that gets entered, but then I decide to scale out that most recent add (by using a market sell keyboard shortcut), it seems to always close the original trig trail stop, not the most recent one. So that causes my original stop that I am trigger trailed further away with to tighten up on my position based on the initial trail of my added position's trigger trail.

I use LIFO but this still seems to happen. If I turn off scale out, then that causes my trig trail stop to get placed on the opposite side of my position.

Is there a setting in SC that would do what I'm looking for?



Thank you,

Refer to the following that controls which order is scaled out when using the option:
Global Trade Settings Windows: Scale Out (Global Settings >> General Trade Settings >> Scale In/Out)
