Is it possible to specify when a Build Feature is to be run?

Question

TeamCity 8.1.4 (build 30168)

I notice that Build Features are always run as first part of first step in the Build Steps, but is it possible to make a Build Feature run e.g. as first part of step2? Or as last part of Step1?
Any help is appreciated!

(If it is of interest, this is my concrete problem;
I have a meta runner that creates a specific build number, I use this as a first step in the build steps. I want to use the build feature "AssemblyInfo patcher", but this runs before the meta runner has done its thing)

1. Create another build configuration, move your meta-runner there.
2. Modify your build parameter to report a build number through service message
3. Create a snapshot dependency from your build configuration to the new one
4. In the configuration with meta-runner go to general page, enter %dep.META_RUNNER_CONFIG_ID.build.number% to 'build number' field. This will take a build number from the dependency and set it as a build number. META_RUNNER_CONFIG_ID is the Build configuration id you will see on the general page of your configuration where you have moved meta runner.
5. Use %build.number% as a replacement in AssemblyInfoPatcher
