DFW is my home airport. In my observations, some airlines ALWAYS have the priority bags come out first, and some airlines almost never do. If what you say is true, then all priority bags on the FRA-DFW route should come out first. Yet somehow LH manages it and AA doesn't. And vice versa, when I fly ex-DFW, my AA bags are a total crapshoot as to whether they will come out first or last at my destination, while some carriers originating in DFW always manage to get priority bags out first when I arrive.<shrug>
I think if the airline really cares about it and makes it a priority, it will happen, no matter what the airline and route.
