Hello,
I wonder if it is possible to prioritise what revit selects as objects in commands. For example some dwg and and grids are on top of eachother, and when I align a column I want to align at first to the grid not to dwg, without checking it with the lower left writings. Is that possible to tell revit select the elements in projects first then the dwg?

Sorry - You need to pay attention to what you pick in the lower left... or temporarily hide your CAD import when doing this work.

press the tab key while hovering over your desired selection, watching as mentioned the status bar for what you would select, keep pressing tab until status bar says your desired selection.
Or select anything you don't want selected and temp hide in view until you are able to grab what you want.
OR select everything and use your filter command to get down to the stuff you want...

I am aware of using tab, filtering and other methods, but I wanted to have a slightly better method to stop human errors, therefor I wanted to know if there is a better method. But thanks anyway

Nope. CAD kicks revit's proverbial behind. Another approach could be to use view filters, via this, you can turn on/off visibility of components based upon the values stored within, or you could even change the colors based upon certain values...
But unfortunately, there isn't a more powerful method. In response to your second part, NO, there isn't any way to accomplish that, BUT you can turn off imports in view prior to performing the command...
