triaged
Ranked by severity
Triaged is the past tense of triage, meaning to sort or prioritize according to urgency or importance.
The term comes from medical settings where patients are assessed and ranked by the severity of their condition: The nurse triaged incoming casualties.
It now applies broadly to any systematic prioritization: We triaged the bug reports and fixed the critical ones first.
