Queue ordering

Overview of the ordering of messages on a queue

The order of messages on a queue is primarily determined by their priority. Message priority ranges from 9 (highest) to 0 (lowest). Messages with the same priority value are ordered by the time at which they arrive on the queue, with messages that have been on the queue for the longest being at the head of the priority group.
