# Priority

When putting a job into a tube, you can set a numeric priority on the job. This priority allows you to dynamically adjust when certain jobs are performed.

For example, you might have a queue with a large number of jobs, but you need a single job to be run **before** all the other existing jobs, you can set a higher priority on a new job and that will be the next job reserved off the tube.
