 Currently there is no way (at least that I could find) to specify the
 order of settings sections on a settings page (for example, a theme
 options page). Use case: a child theme adding a settings section to the
 parent theme's "Theme Options" page has no way of specifying where on the
 page the new section should be placed.

 I've modified the add_settings_section() function to allow for a priority
 to be set (much like when adding sections to the theme customizer). I also
 added `uasort($wp_settings_sections[$page], 'compare_priority');` to the
 do_settings_section() function, where 'compare_priority' is a slightly
 modified version of the compare function used to set the priority of the
 theme customizer sections. The patch is based on version 3.4.2, but I'd be
 happy to make another for the development version if that would help.

 This is my first patch submitted, so please let me know if I need to do
 anything differently. Thanks!
