At this time, the documentation sais "Note: Multiple elements with the same priority will get dequeued in no particular order."

If you need elements of equal priority to maintain insertion order, you can use something like:

<?php

class StablePriorityQueue extends SplPriorityQueue {
    protected
$serial = PHP_INT_MAX;
    public function
insert($value, $priority) {
       
parent::insert($value, array($priority, $this->serial--));
    }
}

?>
