Why not just run this last job as a child job of the matrix build? The matrix 
build is really designed for running the *same* steps for each cell in the 
matrix; if you find yourself trying to coerce it into handling an entire flow 
of builds, you're probably heading the wrong direction.

The purpose of 'touchstone' builds in matrix jobs is not to perform preparatory 
work for the other builds, it's to run a build that acts as a sanity check on 
the code in question before launching into dozens (or hundreds) of other builds 
that would just fail anyway.

Thanks for the quick reply, Sami. 

I'm interested in forcing the particular configuration to run  last because I 
have lots of tests which generate quite a bit of useful  debugging info on the 
back-end of the target that I am running the  exhaustive tests against. 
Once the testing is complete, I retrieve logs from that target  system in such 
a way that the retrieval itself becomes a sort of code  coverage test. 

The thing I am looking for is something like how one can execute  a touchstone 
build first by specifying some identifying character in,  but more like a 
'tombstone' configuration which would be guaranteed to  run last, and be 
included in the matrix.

You cannot control the order in which matrix job builds its configurations. 
 
You need to remove the configuration you want to run last and make a new 
non-matrix job. Then make the matrix job trigger a build of the non-matrix job. 
 
If this is not good for you, please explain what you are trying to do and maybe 
we can suggest a better way to do it.
