How do I display results of a Splunk alert before the message content?

I have an alert that has message content to be sent in an email:

e.g.

Message

Message info here returned about the alert

When the alert triggers the message info is returned followed by the alert.

How do i get the alert info to be returned and the message info (in the message box) to be displayed please?

So

alert 1 results

followed by message info

not:

message

followed by an alert

I think one of the only things you can do is to just add a token into your message body that adds more information about the alert (like $result.fieldname$), but it wouldn't really be swapping them around.
