Dictate cipher order for incoming HTTP transactions

We would like the ability within SSP to be able to dictate cipher order. Right now we have our security team testing our SSP nodes and when they test with the script here:

https://testssl.sh/

Using version 2.9.5 we get back that the client can negotiate in any order it desires. We'd like to restrict that to an order we set. Right now there is a section under Netmap > Security that lets you set the cipher list, but apparently the order only affects outbound traffic. We'd like this to either impact inbound traffic as well, or else have a separate section to set that.
