This can be done by placing a bread crumb and Ordering the MI the way you would like them. I am guessing this is for imaging.
Ex:
Place File - C:\Programdata\Dell\Kace\InstallSoftware.txt on computer you want to install software on.
Custom Inventory - FileExists(C:\Programdata\Dell\Kace\InstallSoftware.txt) We will call this Software N Stuff
Make Label - Software Title = Software N Stuff
Order MI - Make sure that you order the MI lower number goes first.
Apply label to MI - Add the Software N Stuff label to all the MI that you want to run on said machines
Remove Breadcrumb - Add a line to your last install to remove the Breadcrumb. Or Make another MI to remove the breadcrumb.

Honestly, If you are trying to install multiple things on one MI (Not reccomended), I would do 1 of 3 things...
1. Use a script instead
2. Create a custom software Inventory Item that keys off of a registry entry or file that gets placed during the install.
3. Make a smart label that excludes computers that have the software that you are installing. - Desktop Jockey 7 years ago
