Nor need any other DNS server software do so. The actual DNS protocol has no notion of an ordering within a resource record set in an answer.
I suspect, from your brief description here, that what you'll end up with is using the "sortlist" option in the BIND DNS client library's configuration file /etc/resolv.conf . Although SRV RRSets will introduce some interesting complexities.
