This matter is of little importance. OK This is a little important matter => sounds awkward. => Better to say “This is a trivial matter” or "This matter is not that important"

Which one of these options do we use?
This matter is of little importance - It means that a case is of low priority.
This is a less important matter - I guess that in such a way it sounds better!
These phrases are synonymous. I mean that their meanings are practically the same.
