In the Geographic Coordinate System Transformations window, how does the program rank options in the 'Using' dropdown list?

The program sorts the options by how well they fit the current coordinate transformation, placing the most suitable one at the top. It uses built-in heuristics to assess factors like datum compatibility, region, and the expected accuracy of each transformation model, so the best match is shown first for quick, reliable selection. Alphabetical ordering would not reflect technical suitability, and sorting by least suitable or by creation date would not help you choose the right method for accurate results.
