Cannot print islands sequentially in multiple projects

Trying to print a quite big part from Colorfabb XT-CF20. This material has the rude habit of gathering on the nozzle to excess blobs which are - once grove large enough - usually choose the worst position to drop, and therefore messing up the print or just sitting there solidifying and waiting for the head to come and hold it just enough for the stepper motors to loose a few steps.
To prevent this, I've defined a second project (with the small cuboid in the corner). The print head should go there after each layer to give the opportunity to clean the nozzle. It's a different project because I want to have some time (so print speed is reduced to 1mm/s), and do not want to really extrude material (so extrusion rate is lowered to 0.1).
So far, I couldn't find any setting that results in the print order of Process 1-Layer 1, Process 2 - Layer 1, Pr1L2, Pr2L2, Pr1L3, Pr2L3 etc.
No matter what I want, the print order is always Pr1L1, Pr2L1, Pr2L2, Pr1L2, Pr1L3, Pr2 L3, Pr2L4 etc.

Any solution for that?
Thanks
