According to the documentation:
The packages are ordered by the following criteria (in
this order):
- out-of-date/uncompiled (the former come first)
- priority (e.g. "required" before "optional")
- section (alphabetically)
- package name (alphabetically)
Note the the priority has nothing do with with the urgency of the
upload, it has no effect on it.
The documentation seems to be a litte out of date, and before
those 4, there is also a rule that lists all packages of higher
priority than standard before the rest.
Basicly, when there are no new/uncompiled packages involved, the
order is by priority, then section, then alphabetically.
