TiVo works on a "first add, first record" basis. This means the first show you add as a Series Link is considered top priority, and each one after that has a lesser priority. If you want to give a recently added Series Link (or Wishlist) priority over an older, higher one or generally change the order to make sure your favourite content is always at the top and doesn't get ignored in favour of lesser priority ones when more than three things are set to record:

HOME button, then My Shows & Recordings -> Manage My Series Links. Number 1 on that list is highest priority, with each show below that having lower priority the further down the list it is.

When reorganising this list, be prepared to see the Please Wait... prompt for several seconds (or minutes, if your Series Link list has lots of items) while TiVo makes changes to the scheduler.
I know how tivo works re priorities. And emboldened above is the long processing time I was refering to.

By using zero padding, I rarely have to go into manage my series links to deal with the priority system tivo imposes on us
