Severity
In the new Alert grid, Severity uses the following numerical values:

icon located next to the column name to expand the drop down menu. This menu allows you to sort your criteria by Sort Ascending or Sort Descending, you can remove or add the Database, Category, and Show Details columns, and group the information by fields.
