Whenever you place an order in the stock market, your online broker will let you see all other orders currently queued for your chosen stock.
This is the order board or quote screen that identifies the Buying (Bid) and Selling (Ask) parties into each stock choice. This stock quote screen lists on the left column the desire to buy and on the right column the desire to sell, showing the respective volume levels (or size) at each bid price level.
The queue actually shows the precedence/sequence and thus of priority of execution of these orders, depending on their price, which you can use to adjust your own bid/offer price to get the desired priority.
