Hoping I can accomplish the following via a simple UNIT modification or
service script?

Questions:

A) How can my service always runs "last" within local-fs-pre.target?

For Example:

Need my service to always run last within the local-fs-pre.target, even
if others add another services later within local-fs-pre.target. Still
want my service to always run last within this local-fs-pre.target.

Note: I will not know services others may later add within the
local-fs-pre.target

Systemd deliberately doesn't have a definite concept of "last" or "first". (More importantly, what happens if another service also wants to be "last"?)

They take each other’s hand and run in parallel 😉
