That is currently not supported - the API does not yet provide a way for you to reprioritize tasks or move them underneath particular priority headings.

Answer 2

Even though this feature is not supported literally by the API, you can still use a workaround to do it.

First, get the ID of the priority heading that must be on top of your task.

Then, change the order (priority) of the task with the method "addProject" on the task's endpoint and move it right after the desired priority heading.

curl -u api_key: https://app.asana.com/api/1.0/tasks/task_id/addProject -d "project=project_id&insert_after=priority_heading_id"
