Hi @lee-dohm 👋

I couldn’t reproduce this issue locally with the steps you provided. After looking at the code, I confirmed that the `Priority` order is ascending, and `Priority (reverse)` descending. Also, when two items have the same priority, we order them by the `created_at` value in descending order.

Could you check if the `something else` flags have a higher score than the `off-topic` one? The formula takes different things into account to calculate the score.

Let me know and I’ll keep investigating if necessary!
