IOS – How is the iOS App Store Updates list organized

ios-appstoresoftware-updatesort

I have dozens of apps in my iOS App Store that have updates available, but I have no interest in updating most of them. There are certain apps though that if an update were available I would want to install it. But I can't find any rhyme or reason to how the updates are sorted in that section of the App Store app which makes it harder for me to see if something is available short of slowly scrolling through the whole list or searching for that app directly.

So how are they organized?

Not to be flippant but I don't think anyone outside of Apple knows. I've had Apple products for years and my only guess is they're rolled out within a specific time after their review has completed. We don't know when the apps are reviewed, except for our own, so we don't know how we stack-up against the other apps that have been updated.
