Prioritizing one workflow over another

We have a common workflow which gets triggered on every asset upload in any of the dam folders which creates metadata on asset metadata node.

For one such particular folder, we have a separate workflow and under this workflow's step I am trying to get metadata for the image being uploaded to check if height and width is correct. If not I want to move the image to error folder.

When I try to fetch metadata on 2nd workflow step I only get jcr:created and one more property.

Where as actual node in crxde has more than 20 properties.

Am I trying to fetch the metadata before its being read and written onto metadata node?

If that's the case, is there any way I can prioritize the first workflow to run first so that necessary metedata is created by teh time second workflow's step executes?

Thanks in advace.
