Default Power listings in Hodgdon reloading manual

Does anyone know what the basis is for the order powders are listed for a particular load in the Hodgdon manual? It's not alphabetical or by velocity or pressure. I've wondered if it is their preference for that load?

Powder burn rate I thought, within the same brand.

Burn rate may be right. I think I'll call Hodgdon tomorrow.

Burn rate is correct. From Hodgdon: "In burn speed order -Slowest burning at the top – fasted burning at the bottom"
