Intermediate switch first in 3 way?

[Capra]

So.. we've dropped a clanger.

3 way switching for large Hallway.
Switch wire drops to 1 gang switch(2way), then 3-core to 4-gang switch, then 3-core to 1-gang(2way). This means our 2nd switch isn't an intermediate - but a 2-way.
(Not aware of anyone who makes a 4-gang switch with an intermediate module - which would sort this straight away)

Just wondering if anyone has an ideas of how we can get this to function - other than removing a module from an intermediate and getting it to work in our 4-gang.

Is there any method in which the intermediate switch can used as the first switch in the group? I can't think of one... but i know there's some clever folks on here.........

Buy a grid system switch plate and slot in your exact requirements with the various switch modules

I put a 3G switch on a job on Thursday, left is bathroom lights, right is bedroom lights and middle is an intermediate fit the hall 3 way.

Click Mode range have interchangeable modules.
