AnyLogic priority queue based on two parameters as Java code

Question

In AnyLogic, my agent has integer parameters agent.size and agent.height

In a queue, I would like to select the agents with a specific size, i.e., agent.size == 5 over the other agents. In a size tie, I would like to select the one with biggest height. How can I model this?

I think I should define this in the priority-based section of the queue module. But, there I can only say agent.size and the larger size will have more priority. How can I adjust this to be able to give a hierarchy (not from a database input, but with parameters which change during the run)?

You should put queueing rule to be "Agent comparison".

You have to write a condition more or less like this:

agent1.size == 5  && agent1.size == agent2.size ? 
    agent1.height > agent2.height : agent1.size == 5 ?
        true : agent1.size > agent2.size

That's great. I think it is missing though. Here, if agent1.size == 5 and agent2.size == 6 then this block code will select agent 2 since the condition ? will not hold and the one with a larger size will be chosen. I think I need to extend this to one more condition where I say: i) one of them has size 5 the other has another size, then chose the first one; ii) both of them have size 5 then your code
