Boy I wish I had known this earlier. Like years ago…
In the Solution Explorer:
- Right Click Project
- Project Build Oder.
- Use the dialog to change the build order
It is next to the “Project Dependencies” in this image from Sara Ford:

Sara Ford: change “Project Build Order”
In the resulting dialog, you can change the build order within your solution.
This can be very useful when – for various reasons – you cannot have Project Level dependencies for an assembly, but have to have Assembly Reference dependencies for individual assemblies.
At a client I bumped into this, and this dialog was a life saver for us.
Others have used it because some Visual Studio versions miscalculate the dependencies.
