They do.

First GS, then all paid instrument upgrades (GPU/RPU/miles + co-pay), then Y (sorted by status), then B (sorted by status), then M (sorted by status), then 1K, Plat, Gold, Silver.
As far as the 2012 program goes, please re-read post1:

  • Global Services
  • Y/B/M instant upgrades that weren’t confirmed in advance (sorted by fare class then premier tier)
  • Paid upgrades (i.e. GPUs, RPUs and mileage upgrades) sorted by status, fare class, and date of waitlist
  • All remaining premier customers by status, then fare class

Nope, you were thinking correctly.
