Prioritizing the earlier convert to Islam in leading the prayer

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. The author (may Allah have mercy on him) mentioned that the one who migrated earlier is prioritized. Is the one who converted to Islam earlier measured by this?

Answer:
Yes. In some narrations, the one who was earlier in Islam—meaning earlier in conversion—is prioritized over the one who was later. Yes.
