Default "Undecided" importance is below all the others, and that's odd

Bug Description

When modifying a bug report, the "Importance" menu presents its options in this order: Unknown, Critical, High, Medium, Low, Wishlist, Undecided.

For projects that use Launchpad for bugtracking, the default importance is "Undecided". So all the other values are above the default, rather than below it. This is unusual; usually the default value in an option menu is the first one (except in cases where another sort order is important, e.g. an alphabetical list of countries). It is more noticable in browsers that use native or native-behaving option menus for <select> (such as Camino, Safari, and I think Firefox 3), because the menu opens upwards instead of downwards.

This can be fixed by making Undecided the first option, rather than the last. To avoid confusion, probably this shouldn't be done until bug 179816 is fixed.
