To be clear:  currently the printed list and the displayed list do not use the 
same ordering, and I would like to fix that.

To be clear:  currently, both the printed list and the displayed list allow 
users to choose between "sort in ascending order" and "sort in descending 
order".  Unfortunately, they disagree on what "ascending" and "descending" 
mean.

My question is, if you have chosen to sort a list of to-dos by priority in 
*ascending* order, would you prefer to see the to-dos sorted as
  A) 1, 2, 3, ... 9 (lowest to highest number)
  B) 9, 8, 7, ... 1 (lowest to highest priority)
