Oops, sorry. When I saw this statement, I thought you wanted a message routed
to a particular queue based on its priority.

"Put the messages with different priorities into different queues"

If that is the case, then I think you can have the broker - using composite
destinations and selectors - automatically route the messages to their
respective queues based on their priority. Something similar to this
pattern.
