Deployment Priority
You can leave the Priority field empty as it is an optional field. An empty value is equal to the lowest priority. The Priority field can hold an integer value between 1 and 10000, with 1 representing the highest priority and 10000 signifying the lowest priority.
How Deployment Priority Works
When a delivery target activates (moves out of pending), the system checks the priority. The delivery targets in the queue with the highest priority get selected first.
Example
Consider the scenario given below in the table:

Four deployments are created: A, B, C and D. Each has 10 delivery targets. Deployment A has priority 10 and D has priority 4. Deployments B and C do not have any priority; therefore, it is left blank.
Then the priority is set like this:
A: 10
D: 4
B: None
C: None
If all Deployments are scheduled at the same time, then delivery targets are activated in the order D1...D10 > A1...A10 > B1...B10...C1...C10.
 |
If no priority or same priority is selected the order is defined by first come first serve (oldest first)
|
While all deployments are in the In-Progress state and the delivery targets are in the pending state, if the priority of B is changed from no priority to 5, then the order will become D1...D10 > B1...B10 > A1...A10 > C1...C10.
