If one FC upgrade is still available at the gate, the gate agent asks whether we want to split up or stay together. So Delta generally does prioritize those with status.

They are not skipped for lower ranking people on the list. If I am on the upgrade list 90% of the time, I am #1 and my wife is #2. The exceptions are people west coast flights with people using UPG certs.
