Why TestNG priority feature is not running in their expected order

I already have prioritized my test cases but they are not running in their priority order? Please refer the code below.

public class TestngFeature {

    WebDriver driver;

    @Test(priority = 4, invocationCount = 5, alwaysRun = true, enabled = true)
    public void TestCaseOne() {
        System.out.println("TestCaseFirst -- This is First Test Case");
        System.out.println("TestCaseOne -- This is first Test Case");
    }

    @Test(priority = 2, invocationTimeOut = 5, dependsOnMethods = "TestCaseOne")
    public void TestCaseSecond() {
        System.out.println("TestCaseSecond -- This is Second Test Case");
    }

    @Test(priority = 1, groups = { "Regression", "Smoke" }, dependsOnMethods = "TestCaseSecond")
    public void TestCaseThird() {
        System.out.println("TestCaseThird -- This is Third Test Case");
    }

    @Test(priority = 3, groups = { "Regression", "Sanity" })
    public void TestCaseFourth() {
        System.out.println("TestCaseFourth -- This is Fourth Test Case");
    }

    @Test(dependsOnGroups = "Regression")
    public void TestCaseFifth() {
        System.out.println("TestCaseFifth -- This is Fifth Test Case");
    }
}

Output:

[RemoteTestNG] detected TestNG version 6.14.3

TestCaseFourth -- This is Fourth Test Case

TestCaseFirst -- This is First Test Case

TestCaseOne -- This is first Test Case

TestCaseFirst -- This is First Test Case

TestCaseOne -- This is first Test Case

TestCaseFirst -- This is First Test Case

TestCaseOne -- This is first Test Case

TestCaseFirst -- This is First Test Case

TestCaseOne -- This is first Test Case

TestCaseFirst -- This is First Test Case

TestCaseOne -- This is first Test Case

TestCaseSecond -- This is Second Test Case

TestCaseThird -- This is Third Test Case

TestCaseFifth -- This is Fifth Test Case

PASSED: TestCaseFourth

PASSED: TestCaseOne

PASSED: TestCaseOne

PASSED: TestCaseOne

PASSED: TestCaseOne

PASSED: TestCaseOne

PASSED: TestCaseSecond

PASSED: TestCaseThird

PASSED: TestCaseFifth

===============================================
    Default test
    Tests run: 9, Failures: 0, Skips: 0
===============================================


===============================================
Default suite
Total tests run: 9, Failures: 0, Skips: 0
===============================================

This is what result I'm getting. Why is it not following the priority or otherwise how the priority works for TestNG?

Because you defined dependsOnMethods for TestCaseSecond and TestCaseThird. It takes priority over priority attribute. From testng Dependencies with annotations

All the methods you depend on must have run and succeeded for you to run

TestCaseFourth has the highest priority (3) without dependency -> it runs first.

TestCaseOne() has the next highest priority (4) without dependency -> it runs second

TestCaseSecond() has the highest priority with all dependencies met (TestCaseOne ran) -> it runs third

TestCaseThird() has the highest priority with all dependencies met (TestCaseSecond ran) -> it runs fourth
