I would implement an alert controller that would accept prioritised alert requests either from the app or a plug-in.
I would also ask myself whether a simple alert sheet is the way to go.
Alerts are asking for the user to attend.
If a plugin alert is displayed and then inexplicably replaced by another it looks as if the software is conflicted.
Perhaps the alert controller displays a single dismissible window that contains a scrollable prioritised list of active alerts.
