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

 I've modified the add_settings_field() function to allow for a priority to
 be set (much like when adding settings to the theme customizer). I also
 added uasort($wp_settings_fields[$page][$section], 'compare_priority'); to
 the do_settings_fields() function, where 'compare_priority' is a slightly
 modified version of the compare function used to set the priority of the
 theme customizer sections.

 This patch is loosely related to
 [http://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/22487] which adds priority to
 settings sections, but not individual settings.
