Is there a reason that the priority (English word) is sometimes inverted from the English meaning of "priority"? It seems that "importance" would be less ambiguous. B-)
Examples:
"safety is our number one priority" -> set priority to 99.
"snacks are low priority" -> set priority to 1 ("low"/"high" priority works!)
"our second priority is to ensure lunch is ready" -> set priority to 98.
"coffee is way down our priority list" -> set priority to 10 (and ignore the yelling).
