Augmented suggestion:

CLASSCFG[a]	QDEF=prio_a
CLASSCFG[b]	QDEF=prio_b
CLASSCFG[c]	QDEF=prio_c
CLASSCFG[d]	QDEF=prio_d
CLASSCFG[e]	QDEF=prio_e
CLASSCFG[f]	QDEF=prio_f
CLASSCFG[g]	QDEF=prio_g

QOSCFG[prio_a]	PRIORITY=0
QOSCFG[prio_b]	PRIORITY=100000
QOSCFG[prio_c]	PRIORITY=200000
QOSCFG[prio_d]	PRIORITY=300000
QOSCFG[prio_e]	PRIORITY=400000
QOSCFG[prio_f]	PRIORITY=500000
QOSCFG[prio_g]	PRIORITY=600000
