Sort by Pairwise Identity
Places pairs of sequences together that align with the greatest fraction of conserved residues. -

Sort by Tree Order
The leaf ordering of a particular phylogenetic tree is used to
order the sequences corresponding to those leaves in the
alignment.
If a tree has been calculated from or associated with the current

Sort by alignment ordering
Multiple alignment methods often order the sequences in their
alignments by some measure of sequence identity.
