But having said the below, sms messages are not guaranteed to arrive in a particular order.
The remote smsc may still send out message 2 first, even when they received message 1 first.

I think it serves for the purpose that you want to. Just it's you cannot set it in the send_sms table. Not sure why, but probably the field was added later. It shouldn't be difficult to add though if anyone wants to send in a patch. == Rene From: users [mailto:users-boun...@kannel.org] On Behalf Of ha...@aeon.pk Sent: dinsdag 12 november 2013 15:28 To: spameden Cc: kannel users Subject: Re: SQLBOX working - LIFO or FIFO Actually, if my understanding is correct (i.e. SQLBOX is already doing the right thing by giving messages in FIFO order to bbox, but bbox is shuffling the outgoing messages from within its buffer), then there is no point of adding priority column. What do you say?
