Working with To Do List
Setting the priority of an item
You can arrange the tasks in your To Do List according to their importance or urgency.

If you have a number of items in your list, changing an item’s priority setting may move its position in the list.

You can select the Priority numbers 1 through 5, with 1 being the most important.
