You can't do that from windows installation environment.
That would require moving partitions around, so one unallocated space is right next to other unallocated space.

3rd party software is required.
For example Minitool Partition wizard free can do that.

1. Install windows on another empty drive.
2. Install Partition Wizard free.
3. Move partitions around.
4. Remove drive, where new temporary windows was installed.
5. Install windows on reorganized drive.

Got it. So I'm going to install windows on the first Unallocated Space, then install a partition software to move that partition around. Then Should I install windows again?

So - you don't have another empty drive available?
Ok then. You can do that way too.
It may not even be necessary to install windows the second time.

Note - when moving partitions around, it is recommended to have backups for partitions you're operating with.
If there are some disk surface errors, file system errors or power gets cut during operation,
then that can result in process failure and data loss.
