As I recall, in Ansteorra sitting landed barons and baronesses have
precedence according to the date on which their group was elevated to
baronial status, not according to the date on which the sitting
individuals themselves were invested.  If so, then, at the moment that
a new baron and baroness of Stargate are invested, they immediately
take precedence over all other landed baron/esses in Ansteorra, even
if another had been sitting since Clare was a pup.  Then in order
Steppes, Bjornsborg, Bordermarch, Bryn Gwlad, et cetera.

     Format I am using is:
     Group name // date founded // date of baronial status

     Star Gate // Aug 1972 // Aug 1972 was founded as a Barony
     Steppes // March 1973 // Aug 30, 1975
     Bjornsborg // April 11, 1974 // Nov 27,1976
     Bordermarch // Spring 1976 // Sept 17 1977
     Bryn Gwlad // Nov 9 1976 // May 12 1979
     Namron // Feb 9, 1977 // Nov 18 1979
     Eldern Hills // Jan 1979 // Oct 30 1987
     Raven's Fort // Jan 1980 // Sept 23, 1989
     Elfsea // April 1979 // Dec 30 1989
     Wiesenfeuer // Sept 1978 // Dec 30, 1990
     Bonwicke // Sept 1981 // January 4 1991
     Loch Soilleir // Oct 23,1979 // June 19, 1991
     Northkeep // April 1978 // Nov 1996

(I re-sorted by date of baronial status.)
