Really? I acknowledge that it is priority based *on the bus*, i.e. if
two devices A and B on the same bus try to send CAN ID 0x100 and 0x123
at the same time, then device A will win the CAN arbitration.
However, I am not aware of any devices which reorder their own stack
according to the CAN IDs. If I first send CAN ID 0x123 and then ID
0x100 on the device stack, 0x123 would still go out first, right?
