This was a suggestion by @ehabcharek-2 on Blender Chat.

After increasing the priority of a job via the web interface, it would be nice if Workers could be told to stop working on what they're doing now, and work on the high-priority job instead.

A (technically) simple way to achieve this would be to allow the re-queueing of active tasks. This would force the Worker to abort its work on that task, and ask the Manager for the next task to work on. Due to the change in job priorities, it should get served a task from the high-prio job (if possible).

This could also be done on the job level, re-queueing all active tasks of the job simultaneously.
