    calculating a plurality of unit conversions from the input value in the input unit to other available units thereby providing a plurality of unit conversion results each having a value in one of the other available units, wherein the other available units include one or more of;

    units of length, units of time, units of weight, units of velocity, units of volume, units of power, units of pressure, units of currency, or units of area;

    determining a score for each value within the plurality of unit conversion results based on the value thereby generating a plurality of scores for the unit conversion results, wherein the value is transformed by a transformation to obtain the score if the value is within a range which is less than one and greater than zero, wherein the transformation modifies values within the range to change how the modified values are sorted;

    sorting the plurality of unit conversion results into a sorted list based on the plurality of scores; and
