That's not correct. At least on SVN for a good time now, Kannel honors priorities, being 3 the highest and 0 the lowest. That means that if you have a big queue of priority-1 messages and send one priority-2 or 3 message, it will get delivered before the rest of the queue.
The priority is also passed to the SMSC by means of SMPP's priority flag, but afaik most carriers ignore ESME settings for priority so do not expect it to work.
