In FMOD we have:  
Oldest  
Quietest  
Furthest.

Unreal has:

Prevent new  
Stop oldest  
Stop farthest then prevent new  
Stop farthest then oldest  
Stop lowest priority  
Stop quietest  
Stop lowest priority then prevent new.

Would love to have more combinations/settings than FMOD currently provides

And even more important:  
Unreal allows me to prioritize depending on distance as well.  
So certain sounds I will always be able to hear, even though they are far off. Other sounds will be culled when they are far away.
