Section Number and Name: ?

Describe the issue: 

Currently, man ps has
pri         PRI       priority of the process.  Higher number means lower priority.

Here, I up the niceness, so priority should decrease, which means PRI should show a higher number, then?
But in fact, it goes *down*

$ ps -o pri,nice -p 330709
PRI  NI
19   0
$ renice 10 -p 330709
330709 (process ID) old priority 0, new priority 10
$ ps -o pri,nice -p 330709
PRI  NI
9  10

Suggestions for improvement: Documentation appears to have been fixed at procps-ng three weeks ago. Please backport the change.
