+#### .setPriority(id, priority)
+
+Updates the priority of a promise function by its id, affecting its execution order. Requires a defined concurrency limit to take effect.
+
+For example, this can be used to prioritize a promise function to run earlier.
+
+```js
+import PQueue from 'p-queue';
+
+const queue = new PQueue({concurrency: 1});
+
+queue.add(async () => '🦄', {priority: 1});
+queue.add(async () => '🦀', {priority: 0, id: '🦀'});
+queue.add(async () => '🦄', {priority: 1});
+queue.add(async () => '🦄', {priority: 1});
+
+queue.setPriority('🦀', 2);
+```
+
+In this case, the promise function with `id: '🦀'` runs second.
+
+You can also deprioritize a promise function to delay its execution:
+
+```js
+import PQueue from 'p-queue';
+
+const queue = new PQueue({concurrency: 1});
+
+queue.add(async () => '🦄', {priority: 1});
+queue.add(async () => '🦀', {priority: 1, id: '🦀'});
+queue.add(async () => '🦄');
+queue.add(async () => '🦄', {priority: 0});
+
+queue.setPriority('🦀', -1);
+```
+
+Here, the promise function with `id: '🦀'` executes last.
+
 #### .pending
 
 Number of running items (no longer in the queue).
