I'm pretty sure suspended holds maintain their place in the line. This was an optional preference in my previous ILS so it is possible I'm confused. But the suspended hold stays in the line and will "travel" up the queue as older requests are filled. When the request begins actually looking for an item, the original request date will still be used to determine the "seniority" of the hold request.
