They don't have 'no priority' -- they have the default priority which is
probably [#C]. You can set the default using variables.
See:
org-default-priority
The default priority of TODO items.
org-highest-priority
The highest priority of TODO items. A character like ?A, ?B etc.
org-lowest-priority
The lowest priority of TODO items. A character like ?A, ?B etc.
You're free to change the default to Z or something as long as you also
set org-lowest-priority appropriately.

Bernt
