優先順序 vs 优先级

(computing) priority level · Different wording

台灣 · Taiwan
優先順序 ㄧㄡ ㄒㄧㄢ ㄕㄨㄣˋ ㄒㄩˋ · yōu xiān shùn xù
vs
大陆 · Mainland
优先级 yōu xiān jí · ㄧㄡ ㄒㄧㄢ ㄐㄧˊ

What differs, and by how much

Different wording The two terms share 优先 in their simplified forms but are different words. In Taiwan the standard term is 優先順序; on the Mainland it is 优先级 - both point at “(computing) priority level”.

Taiwan’s Ministry of Education dictionaries record 優先順序、優先級 for this concept. The Mainland standard is among them - the difference is which form each side makes the default.

Neither term carries an HSK or TOCFL level in this table - this pair is dictionary-recorded, not syllabus-derived.

Pair source: the OpenCC cross-strait conversion table, which maps each Mainland term to the form used in Taiwan.
