Default order is A–Z. "Cheapest yearly cost" sorts by the lowest yearly cost of any paid plan billed monthly or yearly (published yearly price, or 12 × the monthly price where no yearly price is published); one-time plans are left out and tools with no such plan go last. You can also click a column header to re-sort.
