Description William Henry 2011-12-15 18:05:09 UTC

Description of problem:
Provider selection is non-deterministic when there are more than one match. The Conductor needs a way for administrators to set a global priority value for provider accounts.

The admin should be allowed to prioritize versus allowing the conductor to pick the first from a list that is returned from a query.   Because if there is no priority then we might find that there is an implicit favouritism because one provider always seems to top the list.
