 ### Failover
 
-In *failover* mode, multiple consumers can attach to the same subscription. The consumers will be lexically sorted by the consumer's name and the first consumer will initially be the only one receiving messages. This consumer is called the *master consumer*.
+In *failover* mode, multiple consumers can attach to the same subscription. In failover mode, the broker selects the master consumer based on the priority level and the lexicographical sorting of a consumer name. If two consumers have the identical priority level, the broker selects the master consumer based on the lexicographical sorting. If these two consumers have different priority levels, the broker selects the consumer with higher priority level as the master consumer. The master consumer is initially the only one receiving messages. When the master consumer disconnects, all (non-acknowledged and subsequent) messages are delivered to the next consumer in line.
