Thanks for the suggestions guys, the
reason I wanted to get rid of priority sort is because we had set OTRS
to display closed tickets and so some closed tickets that had had a high
priority were displaying before more recently created open tickets so it
was confusing!
We decided to get rid of the closed
tickets display anyway so its not so much of an issue now.
Thanks!

It kind of defeats the purpose of using priorities, when you do not
prioritize. Please think about using the default functionality as
designed. You can turn off the priority fields throughout OTRS and/or
use and ACL to blend out all other priorities other then the default
level, so that these fields cannot be used, as an alternative. The
only screens not possible to turn the functionality off is the phone
and email ticket. So an ACL will take care of that.

You are very right. This is hard coded in AgentTicketQueue.pm
else {
157
%Sort = (
158
SortBy =>
[ 'Priority', $SortBy ],
159
OrderBy =>
[ 'Down', $OrderBy ],
160
);
161
}

This is also a good alternative. Thanks for the tip and supporting
your fellow members!
@Emily, you can turn off the sorting, with a little Perl knowledge.
But, as you have heard some good alternatives, I recommend not doing
it. Just a tip!
