change priority (ID) on a VSX VSLS Gateway

Hi Community

I made a mistake during the creation of the VSX cluster and added the "second" cluster member first. The devices have names like ... 001 and ...002. As a result the 001 has ID 2, the 002 has ID 1.
This is only a cosmetic detail but my customer likes to have the first device the primary....

I am able to define all VS higher than 0 on the 001 member (even if this one has ID2) with the vsx_util. But I am not able to change the ID / the priority of the cluster member (this is possible in a traditional cluster by changing the priority).
Is there any way to change the priority (the ID) of a cluster member without rebuilding the whole cluster again from scratch?

The mode is "VSLS (Primary up)"

any ideas?

An alternative solution would be to rename the physical appliances and swap 001 and 002 in their names.

VPX internal naming is automatic, and there is no any graceful way to rename the internal elements without re-configuring them from scratch, as far as I know.
