Got it.
When selecting flaps 1, INBOARD leading edge flaps only extend; this is to prevent too much bending and twisting moment on the wing tips. Once trailing edge flaps are extending (flaps 5 and further) there is no more excess of twisting moment, so OUTBOARD leading edge flaps can be extended too.
