/**
 * Sort by priority through an enumerated list. In this case the words _High_,
 * _Medium_ and _Low_ are used and thus sorted in priority order. This works 
 * by converting the works to a numerical value and then sorting based on that
 * value.

 *  @name enum
 *  @summary Sort an enumerated list of options
