Embedded Paginated Report Export Order

I have a paginated report with one page per customer. This is embedded into a Power BI report and users input the customer number into a slicer (filter by list custom visual) to filter for the customers they want paginated reports for. Is it possible to have the order in which the pages are generated match the order in which they are input into the slicer?

The pages in the pagainted report, will be created based on the order of the data specified in the page group. You could sort that group field numerically or alphabetically, to control the order the pages are shown. Also, you could pass some order-by field as a parameter to the paginated report, then have the page group based on that value. However, I don't know of a way in which the order of how a user selects fields in a slicer could be passed as a value to the pagainted report. 

Thanks for the follow-up. Changing the order within Report Builder isn't a solution unfortunately. I will see if this is something that a Power App could possible accomplish.
