Check the open issues list on that plugin. It looks like jobs kicked off by hand (rather than scheduled automatically) ignore priority sorting. Someone listed that as a feature there. If you kicked off the priority 10 job by hand, or the job that gets ahead of you in the queue was kicked off by hand, that may be your problem. If both were automatically scheduled, I don't know what it is.

According to the documentation for the plugin: "This plugin allows jobs waiting in the build queue to be sorted by a static priority rather than the standard FIFO. Each job is assigned a priority number and jobs with higher priorities are built first. Jobs with lower priorities will not run until an executor frees up which no higher-priority jobs in the build queue can use. The default priority is 100. Jobs will be ordered in ascending order. A priority of 50 comes before a priority of 100." So for the job I'd like to "skip the queue", and build on the next available host, I assigned a priority of 10, but this seems to be ignored and jobs are assigned to build hosts in the order in which they appear in the queue. Any idea why this priority is being ignored?
