The output sequence rule in default is FIFO.

You can sort the items OnEntry trigger for the purpose of sequencing the output not FIFO.

1) You can use a label like 'priority' instead of itemType and set the number in the 'priority' label in the item.

2) When onentry or gathering finish the items, sort on the 'priority' label in the items.

And then the items can be exit out of the queue in the sequence of the sorted order.
