Set Order Price before Number of Shares

Can the price we buy at be unlocked from the beginning so it doesn’t require us to set number of shares before typing in at what price?

I personally always set the price then calculate the shares.

Currently I always write 1 for shares and then go down to set my buy price and then come back to write the actual number of shares I wish to buy.

Logic follows that how many shares you buy is dependant on the price - so really the order should be reversed - price then shares - but I can understand how this order may be simpler for beginners so I don’t mind having it this way.

But I do wish to be able to set the price first and then number of shares - and not have to go back and forth as I am now.

Thank you!
