Prioritization direct url over expression

Hello,
thank you fo creating such a useful plugin.
I want to know if there is a way to prioritize direct urls over regex if they have the same part of path.
example
i have a direct redirect /category/product/ -> /new-category/product
also i want to create a regex ^.*\/category\/(.*)$ -> /new-category/
to redirect all the other products of that category ,that don’t have direct url, to new-category
i Tried that with different position value to each redirect but nothing works
Is it possible?
Again thank you
