Instead of tracking task priority with words like “high”, “low”, etc, task priorities should be tracked with positive integers. Why? Simplicity and performance. It is much easier for a database to sort numbers than to convert words to numbers and then sort. It also simplifies the “vocabulary”, meaning the specific word used is not relevant - only the magnitude of number.
