Change the category order of spotlight search

MacOS Big Sur 11.4.

How can I change the order of the categories for Spotlight search?

When I open the search, I want to find: 1) documents 2) folders 3) photos ... n) siri suggestions n+1) the web

The current search order is the reverse of what I want making Siri et first. Is there any way to change the order? When I last used a Mac 4-5 yrs ago I thought I could change the order.

MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 11.4

Ugh effectively killing Spotlight as a tool for me.

Time to learn Alfred.
