How to change the resources overriding order from library in Android Studio/Gradle?

I have one main module and two library modules, libA and libB.

In libA, string.xml has a param with name param1 is equal SampleText1 and in libB, string.xml param1 is equal SampleText2.

libA and libB have been added into the main module as library

dependencies {
    compile project(':libB')
    compile project(':libA')
}

Finally, on the main module param1 equals SampleText1, but I want param1 to be equal SampleText2.
I have changed the library order on dependencies, but it doesn't have any effect.
Is there any way to change an resources overriding order?

I have solved this task with changing my flavor name with alphabetic order. In result first letter of root module should be before others flavors name in asc order. This isn't misunderstanding but it works for me.

My package names are uniqiue in both libs

Good, then nothing needs overriding, you simply need to reference the resource correctly using this format. 

@[<package_name>:]<resource_type>/<resource_name>

So this 

@string/param1

Becomes this 

@com.example.lib1:string/param1
