You can't. You could create a feature request in JIRA.

You can't.

Well, not strictly true...

You have API calls available to start VMs by ID and even an example script to start one by name: https://www.truenas.com/community/threads/how-start-vm-from-shell-or-script.87075/#post-603694

You can therefore set the VMs to not start on boot and instead run a script in a post-init task to start them in any time sequence you want.

It's just not something you can do in the GUI (even if it may be a nice feature to have if the developers have the time).
