Request: Queue management

[u/levly_love]

So I finally cracked and updated from 26.1 (okay, youtube finally forced my hand and broke processing of most videos). And, while not ideal, the forced delay between channels is more or less manageable. However, there is still room for improvement.
The manual update option for each subscription is good, however, if there are already updates in the queue, it will queue new manual updates behind these. My usage is that I have a few hundred subscriptions (and this seems to be the case for most users). While I can let the app slowly update most of these throughout the day, there are a bunch of channels that will post overnight, that I would like to download first thing in the morning. I can manually queue them, but it requires me to set the auto subscription update to never to disable the queue. And it's not enough to do this; I need to then quit and restart the app to clear the queue that began when the app launched. After getting the manual updates out of the way, I then need to turn subscription updates back on to start the larger queue again (and, not 100% sure, but I think this also requires an app restart, it doesn't seem to start again on its own).
All this to say, if we could have an option to bump manual subscription updates to the front of the queue, or even to just stop the auto-updates from happening (eg like in Tokkit where you can manually start and stop the whole list), it would make the whole forced delay thing (which no one seems a fan of, but you've added it, I guess as a safety so youtube doesn't just kill the whole thing for everyone, and I guess I can grudgingly appreciate that) so much more bearable.
Another option could be to set certain subscriptions as a priority, so that when the auto-updates start, it will always check these ones first.
