How to set a Matrix /Coloumn stacking secquence in a Gravity Flow Rack?

Hello all,

I attempted to replicate the sequence of stacking in image 1 below on a gravity flow rack, but the results were not as expected (picture 2)

Picture 1 (stacking sequence in a typical RACK).

Picture 2 (Stacking sequence in a Gravity Flow Rack)

I tried customizing the "Slot assignment strategy," but I was only able to arrange the item sequence in the order below.

I also tried modifying the code in the corresponding scripts, but it wasn't successful.

In order to make better use of the space, I would like to put multiple items into a single slot in a matrix or coloumn passion rather than just one.

Is there a method or procedure to get the sequence order in figure 1 on a gravity flow rack?

Any advice or assistance?

Greetings and Thank you in Advance!

You can add more smaller slots

(width 0.1; slots per bay: 25, deactivate storable slots near frame work).

But I think a vertical stacking is not a classic storage option of a gravity flow rack. You can still add a shelf tilt amount in a standard rack.
