Official UNITED policy for meal preferences is to prioritize in the following order: (as of late 2023)

1. Pre-orders
2. Global Services members
3. 1K members
4. All other revenue passengers from front to back (no difference between $$$ or mileage or upgraders)
5. Non-Revs

The proper way is to take orders front-to-back, and apply priority in the galley afterwards. Some FAs may still hop around the cabin seeking GS and 1Ks and take their orders first.
With the sharp increase in passengers pre-ordering meals, front-to-back ordering is now predominant.
