Keeping courses (and sections) in the same period

Need some help with relationships or constraints... Middle school schedule, 7th grade students either have PE/Heath 1st period and exploratory rotation 2nd period or they have exploratory rotations 1st period and PE/Health 2nd period. These are all quarter classes, health is one quarter with PE the other three quarters. Order of exploratory classes and PE/Health does not matter. We want our students to have PE/Health either 1st or 2nd period and not flip between the two periods with the exploratory classes in the opposite period. We cannot get the relationships or constraints to work. When we run a load, a student might have PE 1st period for Q1, Q2, Q3 and then health during Q4 but in 2nd period.... we want it to be PE 1st period Q1, Q2, Q3 with health 1st period in Q4 and then 2nd period it would be Art Q1, PBL Q2, Exploring Success Q3, Innovative Tech Q4, but we cannot get the powerscheduler to work that way. Instead it's running with 1st period PE, PE, Art, PE and then 2nd period is IT, PBL, Health, Exp. Success. Any ideas????
