The way it was designed to work:

(1) Systems with the highest # of updates available (with weight applied 
to security, bugfix, and enhancement errata in that order, 
greatest-to-least) are displayed towards the top of the list.

(2) (Satellite-only) Systems with the highest # of critical / warning 
probes (weight applied in that status order, greatest-to-least.) are 
displayed towards the top. I believe if a system has both pending 
updates AND monitoring probes needing attention, it will float to the 
top of the list above systems with only pending updates OR monitoring 
probes needing attention.

Make sense? Does this fit with what you've observed?
