CIGI Senior Fellow, Susan Schadler, has an interesting post, here, on the IMF's preferred creditor status. Briefly, this refers to the fact that the IMF enjoys a senior status among creditors in the case of sovereign debt restructuring. As Susan notes, this is a legal convention that is agreed to in practice but is not supported in treaty or international law. As a convention, it is subject to change should the implicit understanding that has supported it be eroded.
