[asterisk-users] How does wrandom strategy works with Queue?

[Asterisk Man]

Thanks Jaron,
I understood the point from your explanation.
What should I do if I always want to ring a particular Queue member first
whenever he is available?

Yes, I can dial that member first before sending the call to Queue and
achieve the result but just wanted to know views from others.

Regards,
--AM
