The vertical ordering of scripts is controlled with the 'script-priority property. The lower this number, the closer it will be put to the note. In this example, the TextScript (the sharp symbol) first has the lowest priority, so it is put lowest in the first example. In the second, the prall trill (the Script) has the lowest, so it is on the inside. When two objects have the same priority, the order in which they are entered determines which one comes first.

\version "2.24"

\relative c''' {
  \once \override TextScript.script-priority = -100
  a2^\prall^\markup { \sharp }
  
  \once \override Script.script-priority = -100
  a2^\prall^\markup { \sharp }
}
