Box executes commands with higher priority first.

When diagnosing an upload queue using the [accounts page](/content/tools/accounts/index.html), you'll see for example:

```
movie_upload_queue:
| commands_priority_60: 1056 | commands_priority_40: 7 | commands_priority_17: 1 | commands_priority_19: 1 | commands_priority_18: 1 | commands_priority_20: 10 | commands_total: 1076
other_upload_queue:
| commands_priority_80: 1 | commands_priority_81: 1 | commands_total: 2
```

The priority is determined by both content type and importance.

|     |     |
| --- | --- |
| **Priority** | **Content Type** |
| **81** | Thumbnails of Important Events |
| **80** | Thumbnails of Unimportant Events |
| **70** | Optional Croppings (hi-res) for analysis in the cloud. |
| **60** | Important motion video |
| **40** | Unimportant motion video |
| **20** | Unimportant non-motion video |
|  |  |

These priorities are adjusted by subtracting the ordinal value of the content within a particular Event so that the first video of important Events arrive first (at priority 80) even before subsequent videos in the same Event (at priority 79, 78,...).
