Cannot install extensions that has dependency

[djpremier]

The container cannot activate/install an extension if it depends on another one.

Cannot activate the 'EXTENSION_NAME' extension because it depends on the 'PARENT_EXTENSION_NAME' extension, which is not installed. Would you like to install the extension and reload the window?

Examples: Brazilian Portuguese - Code Spell Checker depends on Code Spell Checker

SQLTools PostgreSQL/Cockroach/Redshift Driver depends on SQLTools

I see that if I try to install "ms-python.python" and "ms-python.black-formatter" I have the same problem. Black depends on python, but python is installed after black.

I think this is because the extensions are installed in alphabetical order. Is there a way to specify the order explicitly? I have not found it yet.
