Meal priority is by status (GS then 1K), after that by order in which meal choices were taken.
"1. Global Services
2. Premier 1K
3. All other revenue passengers (no difference between $$$ or mileage or upgraders)
4. Nonrevs
This prioritization is done in the galley, after taking orders."
Depends on the crew - on my last 3 segments in F, I was approached either before or shortly after take-off, greeted by name, and asked for my meal choice along with any other 1K or GS members. Then the FA went back through the non GS/1K customers to take their order, front to back. This is the method I prefer, as 1K and GS should be given special recognition in the cabin.
