V-Carving using a Pocketing tool and Machining Order

I am working on a project that I am V-Carving and using a Cave Pocketing tool.
I have several carve process that are using the same V-Carve tool and Cave Pocketing tool. I want ESTLCAM to do all the pocketing first then the v-carving. I am trying to cut down on tool changes. I have tried to find the pocketing process in the Change Machining Order screen. But I do not see the pocketing step to move it forward.
Any ideas?

OK. I figured it out. If you select all the items that you want to carve. (holding the shift key and clicking with the mouse) then add the pocketing tool. When you look at the preview you will see that all the pocketing is together befor the carve.
