as GR mentioned it was important when not all things were current.
As per the INS processing guide, the applications are staged based on priority date, EB category, and country in chronological order.
July16 ... a "date" always takes the priority. The "priority date" occurs when there is more than one girl!

Thanks guys
July 16, glad to hear from you. We miss you these days now you're part of the elite "approved" group.
Basically then priority date has no significance these days. One less thing to add in the "when will I ever get approved" equation. Good to know. Thanks!!

Priority Dates are current now ....
.... however if the quota for visas get used for a particular year,
then the priority dates may retrogress.
If the priority dates retrogress then it will be a true first-come-first serve basis for I-485 approvals. eg) If priority dates retrogress and INS picks say Jan 2001 as its cutoff day then only those applicants who started the process before Jan 2001 will be considered for approval, the rest will have to wait till your filing dates become current.
I have heard that Priority dates aint gonna retrogress for the current year, so folks you need not worry about it yet

Peace ....

If you don't come from a country that exhausts its annual quota of visa numbers very quickly, like India, China, Mexico etc, then you don't generally worry about priority dates. PDs are mostly current for "other" nations. Cheers!
