The docs says

  (set-coding-system-priority &rest coding-systems)

  Assign higher priority to the coding systems given as arguments.
                                ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
So you should call the function with coding-systems, not with a list
of coding-systems:

  (set-coding-system-priority 'utf-8 'iso-2022-7bit 'iso-latin-1 
'iso-2022-7bit-lock 'iso-2022-8bit-ss2 'emacs-mule 'raw-text 'iso-2022-jp 
'in-is13194-devanagari 'chinese-iso-8bit 'utf-8-auto 'utf-8-with-signature)

And be sure to read this part:

  If multiple coding systems belong to the same category,
  all but the first one are ignored.
