How to determine the order of priorities from a BIRT report?
Although it is easy enough to get hold of the 'priority' field (ID or name) from a BIRT data source, how can I tell which priority has more... priority!?
E.g. I have a priority called "High" and one called "Medium". Because I speak English, I can tell you that "High" has higher priority than "Medium". How can I tell this programatically from a BIRT report template? In the process configuration, you can add/delete priorities, rename the priority labels and re-order them, so how do I discover this order?
Thanks!

Underneath the friendly priority label, there is a priority ID. The
convention is that the priority IDs should be assigned in increasing
priority as the IDs increase. Thus, 1 = Unassigned, 4 = High. I don't
think this is *enforced*, but I think it's the safest assumption to make.
