The priority setting for items lets you arrange the tasks in your To Do List

to arrange items by priority and due date, with priority 1 items at the top. If you 
have a number of items in your list, changing an item’s priority setting may move 
its position in the list. 
When you create a new To Do List item, its priority is automatically set to 1, the 
highest (most important) level. If you select another item first, however, the item 
you create appears beneath the selected item and is given the same priority as the 
selected item. 
To set the priority of a To Do List item:
1.Tap the Priority number on the left side of the To Do List item.
2.Tap the Priority number that you want to set (1 is most important).
