Spawn a job with higher priority in Jenkins if there are already jobs in the queue


Let's assume that with Jenkins, I have a queue that is piled up with 10 jobs waiting for execution.
One of the executing jobs has failed, and I managed to fix the issue, and push the change.
I know that nobody will be able to push their work, until all job types in build radiator are "green".
Therefore I would like the ability to bypass the jobs in the queue so the failed job will run again.

I saw the following plugin - Priority sorter plugin - but I'm not sure that I can use this for the above scenario :
Let's say I configure all jobs to run with priority 50, and then I re-configure the failed job to run with priority one, will it bypass all the jobs in the queue?

The closest to that functionality would be the Accelerated Build Now Plugin.

[The plugin] allows Jenkins users to launch a project's build right away, even if the queue is long (moving it to the top of the queue) and even if no executor is available (killing and rescheduling builds not launched by "humans")
