Order of figure and figure* - figure* either goes to next page or order reversed

Question

I have a two-column document. Figure 1 I would like in-line with the text followed by a figure* on the bottom of that same page. When I put the two figures in order and bunch them as close as possible (below each other), the figure* gets pushed to the bottom of the NEXT page. But if I move the figure* higher in the document I get the right placement but the wrong ordering of the captions. Any ideas to fix?

\documentclass{vgtc}    
\usepackage{float}

Figure \ref{fig:1} displays .....   

\begin{figure}[H] 
  \centering
  \includegraphics[width=0.6\columnwidth]{Figure1.eps}
  \caption{\label{fig:1} View.}
\end{figure}

\begin{figure*}[bh] 
  \centering
  \includegraphics[width=\textwidth]{Figure2.eps}
  \caption{\label{fig:2} Use case.}
\end{figure*}

Answer 1

I was able to solve this problem by manipulating the counter. I embedded \setcounter{figure}{#} into the figure and figure*. The count reordered the figure numbering and preserves the placement.

Answer 2

You can also do it with a savebox, but fooling with the figure counter is probably easier.

\documentclass[twocolumn]{article}% couldn't find vgtc.cls
\usepackage{dblfloatfix}% allows [b] for figure*
\usepackage{caption}% for \captionof{figure}
\usepackage{graphicx}
\usepackage{lipsum}% MWE only

\newsavebox{\tempbox}

\begin{document}
\lipsum[1]
%create both figures (more or less) one page early
\savebox{\tempbox}{\begin{minipage}{\columnwidth}
  \centering
  \includegraphics[width=0.6\columnwidth]{example-image}% no figure1.eps
  \captionof{figure}{\label{fig:1} View.}
\end{minipage}}%

\begin{figure*}[b]% no [h] allowed
  \centering
  \includegraphics[width=\textwidth, height=0.1\textheight]{example-image}% no figure2.eps
  \caption{\label{fig:2} Use case.}
\end{figure*}

\lipsum[2-10]

Figure \ref{fig:1} displays .....   

\begin{figure}[bh]
\box\tempbox
\end{figure}

\lipsum[11-16]

\end{document}
