Accent marks Menu on Mac (Order)

When typing on a Mac if you need to enter characters with accent marks, the recommendation is to:

In an app on your Mac, press and hold a key on the keyboard—for example, a—to display the accent menu.
Select a character in the menu—for example, á type 2

However for ó you need to type 4 and 3 for í. Is it possible to rearrange the order of the Menu so that the typical accents á, é, í, ó, ú appear ALWAYS as the first option (hold letter + 1). Besides this issue I prefer the English layout of the Keyboard so It's not practical to change it as I need to type both in English and Spanish.

Seems it should be possible as it's not practical to remember multiple combinations
