Most places that I'm aware of give class seniority based on Age. SkyWest is based on Social Security number. I don't think any are based on performance in training.
That being said, seniority is what will allow you to hold certain bases that do flying for predominantly one major. If you look at the bases for various regionals and compare them to their major partners its pretty easy to see who you'd be flying for
XJT: IAH/EWR/CLE = CAL
LAX = DAL
SKW: ATL/SLC = DAL
DEN/ORD/MRY/SAN/PDX = UAL
MKE = Midwest
