"Dropdown" div can't be moved before the select

Reading the code, the select MUST be before the div
I use (no choice) a form validation plugin that writes error messages just after the element so in this case, between the select and the div which breaks the layout: label ; hidden select ; error message ; displayed dropdown

isn't there another way to get the origin select from the niceselect instance so that div and select would not have to be in a specific order anymore?
like adding a kind of "data-niceselect-id" random string
