How to load all view controllers storyboard, but skip the natural sequence and go direct to a specific view?

Question

Suppose I have three view controllers inside a storyboard, I want to load all of them into view controllers stack, but I want to choose which one will appear first to the user. As shown below I would like to show the third view on load, instead to show the first, any glue?

Option 1. Using storyboards, you see the arrow pointing to your ViewController 1. Drag that to View Controller 2 or 3.

Option 2. On load of your first view controller, you can instantiate whichever view you'd like in your viewDidLoad(), provided you have given each storyboard view an ID.

let storyboard = UIStoryboard(name: "Main", bundle: nil)
let controller = storyboard.instantiateViewController(withIdentifier: "YourVCIdentifier")
self.present(controller, animated: true, completion: nil)

Option 3. In your AppDelegate file, you can do this.

func application(_ application: UIApplication, didFinishLaunchingWithOptions launchOptions: [UIApplicationLaunchOptionsKey: Any]?) -> Bool {
    self.window = UIWindow(frame: UIScreen.main.bounds)

    let storyboard = UIStoryboard(name: "Main", bundle: nil)

    let initialViewController = storyboard.instantiateViewController(withIdentifier: "YourVCIdentifier")

    self.window?.rootViewController = initialViewController
    self.window?.makeKeyAndVisible()

    return true
}
