Change IP address binding order on a single NIC W2K3 Server

I have a server with 2 IP addresses (xxx.xxx.xx.1 and xxx.xxx.xx.2)running an application that requre IP address ending with “1” to be the first address in the binding order. As part of our DR plan we have a cold standby and when switching over to the cold standby the ip address xxx.xxx.xx.1 will be moved from the main server to the cold standby server using a script, but it will place the addresss xxx.xxx.xx.1 as the second address in the list and the application won’t run.

Is there away I can change the IP address order to move xxx.xxx.xx.1 to be the first address in the list

Thank you in advance for your help
