Optimization of firewall rule according to precedence? 
 This sounds like two different aspects- 
 Optimization 
 For optimization you firewall rules are really allowing everything, you should determine what protocols or services you want to let through and only allow those to work, for example if you only want web surfing only allow ports 80 & 443, but if you also want ftp, sftp & DNS allow ports 20,21,22 & 53 along with ports 80 & 443. 
 Precedence 
 From what you are asking this sounds more like a QOS or traffic shaping issue since you are allowing all traffic with the rules in the screen shot. However only you would know what aspects of your network should take precedence over the others to better prioritize your resources. A few things to look up-

 Your key search words for this would be XG with QOS (quality of service) & or traffic shaping, I did a quick google and there are many articles and discussions on this.
