Providers appear with their government data: license status, capacity, inspection history, and a CMS star rating where the service has one. The order is the date we last verified each record, newest first. Nobody pays to appear, and nobody pays to move up. If a listing says "Sponsored," a provider paid for that placement and the label says so.
