This is also an example of how difficult naming can be. This is arguably a "ranking" (1=low, 5=high), not a "priority" (1=high, 5=low).

That’s a very good point.

However people say things are “high priority” which, at least to my mind, implies higher numbers, so I don’t think ”priority” is necessarily the wrong term here.

right, and you execute tasks in descending priority order, not just the priority order.
