Keeping subjects in a certain order (but not consecutive)

[szachariah]

Our teachers are requesting to keep the daily subjects in a predictable order, when possible. Not necessarily consecutive. And not necessarily with the same starting subject every day.

For example, if you (a student) have already had Mathematics today, then you know the next daily subject will be Science. And if you have had Science, then next period in which you have a daily subject today it will be History.  And if you have had History, then the next daily subject will be English. (Of course, other non-daily subjects like Physical Education, or Technology, or Art, or Music may come between these daily subjects. And you may not start each day with the same daily subject.)

Are there a set of constraints that might make this possible in FET?

Thanking you

hmm... Even I see a advantage to remember the timetable easier, But I also see big disadvantages.
That mean for example that Math might be always the last subject of an day! Not very nice for students and teachers. In fact from a pedagogic view I highly recommend exactly the opposite. I also do it, because the timetable is much more difficult to generate by this and might be even impossible very fast by that.
I suggest to do it exactly the other way around. See https://youtu.be/QOgkTMSAoEM?t=122

@szachariah , it is an unusual request, until now nobody suggested anything similar. It is not possible with the current FET. A customization/development might have some chances of success, but I am not sure it fits into the FET algorithm - it is a research problem.

Thank you Volker and Liviu.
