MSI Install Features in a Sequence

Is there a way to install features in a sequence, i.e Feature_NonSMIFiles and Feature_SMIFiles should install after the installation of DefaultFeature ?

I see in log that DefaultFeature is being installed at last. 

MSI (s) (F4:20) [16:19:10:784]: Feature: Feature_NonSMIFiles; Installed: Absent;   Request: Local;   Action: Local
MSI (s) (F4:20) [16:19:10:784]: Feature: Feature_SMIFiles; Installed: Absent;   Request: Null;   Action: Null
MSI (s) (F4:20) [16:19:10:784]: Feature: DefaultFeature; Installed: Absent;   Request: Local;   Action: Local

MSI doesn't install feature-by-feature. Actions that write to the machine (e.g., InstallFiles to copy files to the machine) take into account all components in all features that are selected for installation.
