Describe the feature/enhancement

It's a list of 5 items. The top item in the list is the item with the lowest priority.

Sure, there is a text saying that "1 is lowest 5 is highest". I still makes no sense having the list in that order.

Also, the documentation at https://www.audiobookshelf.org/guides/book-scanner/#book-metadata-parsing indicates the exact opposite.

Does this clarify the guide enough? It says the same thing since it's based on the numbers, but the guide wasn't as clear as initially expected.
