For the general case, no (see [Allow user to provide levels, or levels plus ordering (no ranking or crossing minimization), and let dot finish (#2023) · Issues · graphviz / graphviz · GitLab](https://gitlab.com/graphviz/graphviz/-/issues/2023)).  
But for a 3rd / middle rank, yes ([rank | Graphviz](https://graphviz.org/docs/attrs/rank/)):  
**rank=source** // exclusive  
**rank=same** // all the rest  
**rank=sink** // exclusive
