Is it possible to change priority direction

Hi,

The direction of priority from 0 - 99 and consequently the escalation process does not fit with our model and I would like to change it so that 0 is highest is this possible.

Regards Simon

I would start-off with one of the patches for using textual priorities.
It’d certainly be easy to have “High” be 0-20 and “Low” as 60-80,
but you might be able to extend this to backwards numbers without
much difficulty. Honestly though. I’m not aware of too much in RT that
makes any real assumptions about priorities. Escalation is something
you add, and it’s simply a matter of flipping the sign of an operation
to have it work as you want…

Simon,

I concur with Jerrad. We use the numbers 1 thru 5 with 1 being 

emergency, etc. We’ve been on RT for 3 years and haven’t seen any code
or process that uses any native sequencing of the priority field. I
believe you can write your own progression and promotion sequences on
your own in a cron job. Hope this helps.
