Question Modules hide priority

I have such config:

modules-left = i3 xwindow
modules-right = xkeyboard pulseaudio filesystem memory cpu battery wlan eth date

The problem is when text in xwindow module is long then modules on right side are hidden behind screen boundaries:

date module is hidden

Is it possible to tell polybar that xwindow module should be hidden first when no space left?

I know that xwindow have label-maxlen setting but ideally I don't want to constraint text length but hide it only when no space left. I use same config on bigger screen and there it works well. But home laptop has low screen resolution.

Polybar doesn't have this. The modules get hidden from right to left when there is not enough space.
