I got the opposite result. When I submitted a job as bsmith, they got a lower priority (the number was smaller) than the job submitted as csmith.

bsmith (who has never submitted a job before) got a priority of 98387 (which is 10000 times the 0.983871 FairShare), whereas csmith (who is already running a huge number of jobs and has been for days now) got a priority of 103749.

The format has changed a bit, since none of our RawShares column is ‘parent’.
 
But you can test this to be certain.
 
If your cluster already has jobs pending, have bsmith (who has zero usage) and csmith (who has a lot of usage, relatively) each submit several jobs into the pending queue. Alternatively, have bsmith and csmith submit jobs with larger resource requests: jobs that are large enough to automatically go into a pending state due to lack of resources. Those might be jobs that request the whole cluster, even.
 
bsmith’s jobs should get a higher priority as seen from sprio, and bsmith’s jobs should start earlier than csmith’s.
