Great question. That's not currently an option, but we'll definitely 
look to add that into the next round.<br>

reminder that when
 you're looking at your totals while building your selections, the total
 includes the alternates. So for instance in Case Studies, you'll see 
the following, which means you have 16 total selections, including 
alternates (14 selections + 2 alternates). This will be graphically 
clear as you build your selections and order them.<br>
