You need to change driver, not planner. The entries are currently sorted
by estimated dump time (toward the end of read_schedule()). If that's
close enough, you might be able to just change LITTLE_DUMPERS to zero
at the front of the file so all the dumpers are taking entries from the
end of the list.
Note that such a change is likely to significantly reduce the amount of
parallelism built into Amanda and increase the total run time.
