Is this list sorted by preference or any other method?
At what point does/should a team shift from BPA to org. needs?
Random ordering for this list, as signabiliy, upside and probability all come into play, and preference changes depending on the profile of remaining players available and players already selected by Orioles.
Generally, you should be looking for best player available. Under the new CBA, you may switch to needs or targeted value once you think you have exhausted your allotted bonus amount.
