I think the reason it is confusing, is because it should read:

Assigns a lower priority to the selected application, moving it down on the 
list.  Note:  This only affects the selected application if the file type is 
associated with more than one application.

That second sentance is probably not necessary anyways, since it is difficult 
to change the order if the list consists of one element.

PS:  A similar sentance structure is found concerning the "Move up" button, 
and a similar change could be made there.
