Honestly, due to the British use compared to the American use of "precedence", and the ambiguous difference between the use of the word itself between British and American people, I think that people should simply just drop the whole "precedence" word like a fucking hot potato, and instead just use analogs of the same term for it: "priority".
This is looking away from the similar spelling between "precedence" and "precedent", but that certainly isn't helping either, I'd imagine.
So, if you think about something in priority terms - be it for causality, hierarchy, chronologically, sociologically, rank, or whatever - I implore you, use analogs of that term of priority, and simply just forego the use of "precedence".
If you agree, here's a link to the thesaurus of "priority" (and just ignore the "precedence" synonyms):

IMO, the "precedence" word should be taxed, or straight out banned.
