Operators will always do tasks in the order that those tasks are generated. If you want to deviate from this order, you will need to create some sort of logic system that determines I highly recommend Process Flow if you're going to try to control the logic of the operator's tasks, as you will find that Process Flow offers the simplest way to have the most control over tasks and task-sequences. Here is an example I created that demonstrates how you could approach order of task sequences.
