How can I sort tasks by Priority, but only sort selected or highlighted tasks?

Hi bgriffwork ,
Welcome to this Microsoft Project newsgroup
You could use a Flag field to indicate (Yes or No) which tasksyou want to
sort, and then filter on that Flag. Then Sort.
FAQs, companion products and other useful Project information can be seen at
this web address: http://project.mvps.org/faqs.htm
Hope this helps - please let us know how you get on

There is no option to only sort by selected tasks. However, perhaps you
can create a filter which only shows the tasks that you wish to be
sorted, apply that filter, and then sort. If there is no logical
filter you can think of then, the use one of the flag fields to "flag
on" the tasks that you wish to display, apply a filter to only show
those tasks, and then sort on those.

fairly inexperienced user here - how do you actually set the "flag on"
indicator to a task?

A Flag is a Yes or No condition as I said earlier. Insert a column and
select Flag1. Click in the column against a task and use the drop-down
arrow to select Yes from the pick list, and Enter. Reselect the same cell,
click and drag downwards the little box at the bottom right of the cell to
fill down concurrent tasks. Or copy/paste into those you want.

Thanks Mike ... then, after setting all the required tasks that you want
"selected" (by setting all Flag1="Yes"), then make a Filter (Menu:
Project, Filtered for, More Filters ..., New button) for Field Flag1 =
"Yes". Press the "help" button on that page to get more info, if req'd,
on how to make a filter. As you can see, you can make it as
sophisticated as you can conceive and perhaps by that filter you can do
it direct rather than rely on the manual Flag1 technique.

Hi Rod,
In this instance it would be simpler to set the Autofilter (click the little
"funnel =" button on the Formating toolbar), then click the drop-down arrow
against the Flag1 column heading and select Yes.
