Paraplegic here, can confirm (for myself anyway). After reading several discussions/polls online on the subject, it seems to me that the general order of importance is:
1. Resolution of neuropathic pain
2. Use of hands
3. Sexual function
4. Bladder and bowel function
5. (a few other things)
6. The ability to walk
I should note that the discussions/polls I've read are mostly from the United States. The U.S. is probably the most accessible country in the world, and as a citizen I don't miss walking so much because I can still do almost anywhere I want to. If the discussion was among people from undeveloped countries, the ability to walk might score much higher.
