Question A question for any MD11 or B717 Pilots?

I've noticed on the MCP that unlike boeing or airbus, there isn't a seperate button for LOC. The LOC and G/S can only be armed at the same time using the APPR/LAND button.

With that in mind, how do you track the LOC while performing say, a stepped descent without the G/S capturing before you've reached platform alt? The approach to RWY13 at Malaga being an example.
