[acm] I seem to recollect that we arrived at this sentence after 
explaining the inverse relationship between values and priorities along the way.
Surely, someone has done this before, and co-authors welcome other
concise text suggestions.

OLD
   The client container holds a list (mode-preference-chain) which
   specifies the Mode values according to their preferred order of use
   by the operator of this Control-Client, including the authentication
   and encryption Modes.  Specifically, mode-preference-chain lists the
   mode and its corresponding priority, expressed as a 16-bit unsigned
   integer, where zero is the highest priority and subsequent values are
   monotonically increasing.

Does that do it?
