Srimathe Ramanujaya Namaha:

There are so many points to answer your question, (some devotees have put some 
nice points already)
adiyen will write a few that will address your question as well.

1: Andal is the Avatharam of Bhoomi Peratti 
============================
Naturally Lord's Wife is definitely higher than ALL others. 
(Is needed will provide details for this)

2: She established the Acharya Nishtai 
=======================
a: Always addressed as Periyazhwar's daughter
b: Taught us: For Mokhsa, Acharya Sambhanda is Unfailing (Nacchiyar Thirumozhi)
c: Thiruppavai (NarayanaE....Namakke parai tharuvan), Here the NarayananE 
Sabdham points to Acharya only
(This comes in Swapadesam, Acharya Mulama Moksham)

d: Periazhwar penpillaiyai (Periyazhvar's daughter (Also Sishya) always in 
UpadesaRatna Malai (22 & 23)
She is addressed by Swami Mamunigal as Periyazhvar's daughter & Azhwar 
Thirumagal. 
As that is what is her ThiruVullam (she would like)

Given all this and the fact that she is Bhoomi piratti, you would want to have 
Thiruppavai as the 1st pasuram in 4000 DP, 
but Even Bhoomi pirati, wants her Acharya's work first, 
Though there are many other reasons, this is another reason for why 
Thirupallndu is 1st in 4000 DP, 

3: She always showes compassion to all Jeevas (always includes other jivas in 
all)
============================
She says NamakkE parai.. (She never says Enakke in any place)
Unnod Uttome yovom unake namatcheVOM (Plural, includes all)
Mattrai NAM kamangal (again NAM: plural.......
Kudi Irundhu Kulirndhu .......

In every place she always includes other jivas 
(for Andal all are devotees of lord.
PS: sonner or later we become his devotees only.

4: She never spoke derogatorily about anybody (Yaraiyum dishtika mattaL)
=====================================
Other alvars occasionally spoke lower about other devathas
What Azhwars said may be 100% true but they spoke lower of other devathas, 
which will go to lower their (Other Devathas and their devotees) importance 
Atleast the devotees of those devathas may feel hurt

Andal has never done THIS. (Even those other devotees and devathas are HIS 
property)

5: Vaikuntha van bhogam thannai egazthnthu (UpadesaRatnaMalai, 22) 
==========================================
(This will substantiate point 1 & 3)

inRO thiruvAdippooram * emakkAka
vanRO, inkANdAL avathariththAL * - kunRAtha
vAzhvAna, vaikuntha vAn bOgan^thannai igazhn^thu * 
AzhvAr thirumakaLArAy
================================
Here egazthnthu means sacrificed. This is self sacrifice (She sacrificed her 
stay in Paramapadam, 
and came to Bhulokam for the sake of us the Jivas to be corrected.)

Azhvar Emperumanar Jeeyar Thiruvadigale sharanam

Adiyen Ramanuja Dasan
Vangipuram Pattangi Srinivasa Varadan
