Enqueue Script in custom plugin before other

I've got a conflict with another plugin which is blocking the JS in my custom plugin with the hook:

add_action('wp_enqueue_scripts', '<FOREIGN-PLUGIN>');

Is there a way to enqueue my JS before all other plugins?

I tried already to set priority like

add_action('wp_enqueue_scripts', '<FOREIGN-PLUGIN>', 1);
add_action('wp_enqueue_scripts', '<MY-PLUGIN>', 2);

but it doesn't work. Any ideas?

• Have you tried remove_action() to remove the other plugin's action, add yours, then add back the other plugin's action? – Sally CJ Commented Oct 16, 2019 at 2:07
• your plugin should be independent of other plugin actions. that will avoid a lot of headaches in future development and customization. But if you insist on doing so, try wp_deregister_script( 'script-handle' ) then enqueue your script, other script. To register script: wp_register_script(....parameters....) and to enqueue script : wp_enqueue_script('script-handle') – maverick Commented Oct 16, 2019 at 6:48

Use dependencies. Dependencies are scripts that your script relies upon to be loaded first. The <FOREIGN-PLUGIN> in the example should be the handle that script was enqueued with.

$deps = array('<FOREIGN-PLUGIN>');
wp_enqueue_script( $handle, $src, $deps);
