jenkins - give priority to all downstream jobs over job in queue

Question

I have a scenario where a jenkins job X is executing on a node, which has a downstream job Y to be executed on the same node. Also when the first job is executing, i have another job Z in the queue for this node.

I want Y to execute after X has executed. Currently, the job in queue(Z) is excuting after X, and the downstream job is being put on queue.

Also, I do not want X to wait until Y has finished.

How can i do this?

I have tried all possible way in Priority sorter plugin. But I couldn't achieve your requirement.

I found below links during my research. Hope it helps you. Let me know if it works.

The links say, you can achieve priority based execution by allowing jobs in parallel/concurrent mode
