ArgumentException | The priority of the layer is not valid. |
ArgumentOutOfRangeException | The layer index is out of range. |

The effective priority value should be between 1-5. Membrane layers should not have a priority, the value should be 999.
You should set the layer priority if you want a customized priority value rather than the default one by function.
In shell, a non-membrane layer which is closer to the core should not have a lower priority.
