Problem whit addin controls in flowLayoutPanel

Question

control1 ctr1 = new control1();

flowLayoutPanel1.Controls.Add(ctr1);

 Hi,

I have 3 controls I wish to add to a flowLayoutPanel . I have no problem adding them but Im having problems with contolling the order of which they open ,I want the controls to always be in following order (control1,control2,control3)

Control 1 is always mounted but control 2 and 3 open upon request from user. Now for instance control 1 is open user opens control 2 and than 3 how do I make the controls maintain the same order (control1,control2,control3)¨ and not just add after each other depending on user request for ex. control 1,control3,control2 (is wrong)
Any ideas of what I can do? all and any help appreciated .
