Choose order of input variables for matlabFunction

Is there a way to choose the ordering of the input variables when using matlabFunction on a symbolic expression?

I would like to use exactly those names for my symbolic variables as it makes it easier for me to follow along with the theory (backward Euler on Hamiltonian system - I have simplified my function to isolate the issue).

syms p11 p12 q11 q12 p01 p02 q01 q02
F = [p11; p12; q11; q12] - [p01; p02; q01; q02];
F = matlabFunction(F);

What I would like:

F =@(p11, p12, q11, q12, p01, p02, q01, q02) ...

What I get:

F =@(p01, p02, p11, p12, q01, q02, q11, q12) ...

Is there a better solution than the following?

FF =@(p11, p12, q11, q12, p01, p02, q01, q02) F(p01, p02, p11, p12, q01, q02, q11, q12);
