Hi Richard,
Welcome to the org-mode community!
What you describe should be the default behaviour. But items with no
priority default to B so you need to drop the default priority below the
items you normally set a priority for (ie D if A, B, and C are the only
priorities you use).
See org-default-priority, org-lowest-priority
,----[ example org file ]
| * TODO [#C] Priority C task
| * TODO [#B] Priority B task
| * TODO [#A] High priority task
| * TODO Some other task
|
| (setq org-default-priority ?D)
| (setq org-lowest-priority ?F)
|
`----
Result from M-x org-agenda < t
,----
| -UUU:**--F1 foo.org All L8 (Org)------------------------------------------------------------
| Global list of TODO items of type: ALL
| Available with `N r': (0)ALL (1)TODO (2)DONE
| foo: TODO [#A] High priority task
| foo: TODO [#B] Priority B task
| foo: TODO [#C] Priority C task
| foo: TODO Some other task

HTH,
Bernt
