[torqueusers] torque working last submissions first

[Zimmerman, Curtis J. (MSFC-EV42)]

Our group uses qsub to submit individual trajectories for Monte Carlo analysis. This is a perfectly parallel process - none of the trajectories need to know anything but their own input data. Our typical job has 2000 qsubs, so the queue starts with 2000 items in it. Torque is working the last jobs submitted with qsub first (last in first out). We would prefer to have it work the first jobs first (fifo).

I'm not expert an expert in a torque however, I faced this issue recently,
and figured out by changing configuration file for fifo order it worked.

"strict_fifo: True ALL" in sched_config file
