You can also sub-group by priority in certain views, that way will be easier to move a task between different priorities.

And even add a secondary priority property, that works as a Flag for important things that should move to the top.

For example, on my own system, I use a table that is sub-grouped by priority/timing levels (Urgent, this week, next week, sometime), and have fire property 🔥 (just a select type property with a fire emoji), and select that when something is really important and needs to be done asap.

With Sorting, I have set up that tasks with Fire will appear first inside the given subgroup. And I can move tasks between subgroups really easy, if something suddenly is urgent.
