[R] prevent aov re-ordering of model terms

Is there a way to prevent the re-ordering of factors by aov? I do have a
three-way interaction that I do want to fit before a two-way interaction
(different factors, so they are not nested), but R moves the two-way
interaction to the front. I know it generally makes sense to fit the
two-way interactions first, but in this case I think I know what I'm doing.
+ hv
+ hv:rep
+ hv:soil
+ hv:spdiv
+ hv:spdivnom
+ hv:fgdiv
+ hv:fgdivnom
+ hv:soil:spdiv
+ hv:soil:spdivnom
+ hv:soil:fgdiv
+ hv:soil:fgdivnom
+ hv:mx #<-- that one here
+ hv:soil:mx
mx is a random factor, and I do want to semi-manually test the three-way
interactions against "hv:mx". soil is treated as fixed effect.
I know I can fit the first part, then save the residuals, and then fit
the last two terms, but it would be really nice not to have to do this
in two steps.
