Unexpected sort order in moderation queue when "Priority" order is used

It appears that this might be more insidious than I first guessed. If you follow the reproduction steps above and then do the following:

  1. Flag another post as “Something Else”
  2. Navigate to the moderator review queue
  3. Ensure that “Status” is “Pending”
  4. Ensure that “Order by” is set to “Priority”
  5. Click “Refresh”

Expected: Moderator queue entries be sorted in priority order
Actual: Moderator queue entries are sorted chronologically by time flagged (oldest to newest)

Additionally, “Priority (reverse)” sorts the entries chronologically by time flagged (newest to oldest).
