When I think about priority I want to see if one item is more
prioritized then another. So if I have a list like this:
* TODO Not important
* TODO Really important
* TODO Kind of import
So setting in the priority would look like this :
* TODO 3 Not important
* TODO 1 Really important
* TODO 2 Kind of import
And adding a new item that is more important then kind of important
would look like this :
* TODO 4 Not important
* TODO 1 Really important
* TODO 2 More important then kind of important
* TODO 3 Kind of import
So is there any such functionality for handling priorities the anyone
knows of? I know there is the ABC but that doesn't support what I shown
here where I add an item in the middle of the list changes the priority
of everything below it?
Regards,
Fredrik

Why not use ABC and differentiate with tags, e.g.:
* TODO [#C] Not important :low:
* TODO [#A] Really important
* TODO [#B] More important then kind of important
* TODO [#C] Kind of import :medium:

That would be an idea and I have tried it but when adding a new item in
the list I manually need to change the priority for all the rest which
is too much work

How many categories do you need?
Using ABC with :low: :medium: :high: tags or so you got already 3x3
categories - isn't that already overkill?
You seem to want a kind of ordinal relationship between your tasks, not
really groups of tasks with similar importance.
You could use
* [#A] My A Tasks
** Subtask
** Subtask
** Subtask
* [#B] My B Tasks
** Subtask
** Subtask
** Subtask
* [#C] My C Tasks
** Subtask
** Subtask
** Subtask
and let the textual order of the subtasks determine their priority:
most important on top, least important at the bottom.
Then insert a new task where you think it fits ...

If you consider section order as priority, then you already have it: when you insert a section in the middle, all the ones below are of lower priority, without you having to change anything else.
Use M-up and M-down to reorder sections.
You can use the sorting order only when you have many [#A] or [#B] or [#C] of the same type together.
You could also use [#A] [#B] [#C] [#D] [#E], but I think 3 groups is enough.
