What determines the order files(systems) get backed up?

Hi, I am using amanda 4.2P2 and would like to be able to influence the order files are backed up to tape. I would prefer largest files first. This would assist in increasing the usage of the tape and if more than one tape was required small files would remain to be backed up rather than a larg
