Add manual sort with priority inserts
I would like a way to choose how new episodes get inserted into a manual playlist based on priority. A simple way to do this is that new episodes will get placed above all lower priority episodes, but always after the current playing episode. In addition (though of less importance to me), it would be neat to have a "Priority Interrupt" option for a podcast where it will actually interrupt the current episode if it's higher priority and will then be placed at the very top of the list. I really like priority sorting because my queue is about two weeks long and the political stuff will be stale if I wait til then. But I also like to manually move things every now and then, maybe make a two parter back to back. So a manual sort but with inserts based on priority would be perfect. I saw that I could choose where new episodes insert on a global level, so an alternative would be to have this feature customizable at the podcast level.

I also love the priority sort as it lets me control my playlist as new episodes get downloaded. The part that would be beneficial is to give highest priority to the currently playing episode, so that if a normally higher priority episode gets downloaded, it will be added into the playlist based on priority rules, but have it get added after currently playing episode. That would ensure that skipping or after finishing current episode, the next highest priority episode will always be next. The app could automatically set current playing episode to a very high priority, or let the user choose the priority level of current playing episode which still allows for existing priority scheduling ui to be used, but define a special "now playing" label that gets applied based on what's playing.
