I'm not sure I understand the request. Do you mean that the result of this would be a list of overlays, where the first one is the overlay of the highest priority _anywhere_ in the buffer, the next one of the 2nd highest priority, possibly in an entirely different place in the buffer, and so on -- i.e. completely disregarding the overlay positions? That's a very strange order. Which job(s) need(s) such an order, and why?
