Steps to reproduce:

I reported a bug.
There's a field called Priority where the possible values are P1, P2, ... P5.
So I wondered: is P1 the highest (top, rank1) priority, i.e. most urgent, or is it the lowest priority (lowest number), meaning it is the least urgent, the last to be solved?
So I rolled over it, it showed a "?" and I clicked


Actual results:

This linked me to this page of explanations:
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/page.cgi?id=fields.html#importance

I quote:
"""
Priority

This field describes the importance and order in which a bug should be fixed compared to other bugs. This field is utilized by the programmers/engineers to prioritize their work to be done.
"""

That is pretty obvious. The only non-obvious question (which is higher) is not answered there.


Expected results:

I should have found an explanation saying something like "Where P1 is the highest priority (most urgent) and P5 is the lowest (least urgent)" or viceversa (because I still don't know that).

P1 - P5 have been replaced by human-readable words since Bugzilla 3.6.

reopening; as bmo is still using P1 - P5, we should update our fields.html template to clearly indicate which is higher.
