Hello,
I made a search on "Priority" in the Help of Project and found something
interesting about Resource leveling.
When the same resource works full time on 2 tasks which are schedulded at
the same time, the leveling feature can move one of the 2 tasks. it will
move the one with the lowest priority:
Tools / Resource leveling / Level resources / select : Priority/Standard
Level Now

Hope this helps,

Gérard Ducouret

Let me add what I have learned. Priority is used when resource leveling a
project. The higher the number the higher the priority. Priority is from 1 to
1,000.
If you use 1,000 MS Projects will not level task with this priority number.
You might want to use 1,000 on contractor schedules you receive. Do not put
1,000 on summary task. This will cause MS Projects to become confused.
You can also go to View, Resource Sheet. Here you can add a column "Can
Level" - YES/NO. This will also turn off the leveling.
You also need to set your resource max units and assign resource calendars
for this to work.
