You'll need to write a Scrip that examines the other settings in your
queue to determine if a number is valid.

You could actually do it as an external custom field that only offers
a dropdown list of numbers that aren't taken elsewhere in the queue.
There is documentation in the docs directory about external custom
fields.

The simplest way may be to use the built in priority field, since many
things auto-sort by it, but either way you're going to need a Scrip
that checks when you change the field to see if the input was valid.
