It's true indeed that, at the moment, you can’t prioritize folders or package files. I won't be able to comment on when or if this might get implemented ; feel free to share your thoughts and ideas about this under the relevant section of our Community though; the 'Share an Idea' that is.
Thank you for your feedback on this and please let me know if you have any questions Gavin; I'd be happy to follow up.
