+Prettier uses [cosmiconfig](https://github.com/davidtheclark/cosmiconfig) for configuration file support. This means you can configure prettier via (in order of precedence):
 
-- A `.prettierrc` file, written in YAML or JSON, with optional extensions: `.yaml/.yml/.json`.
-- A `.prettierrc.toml` file, written in TOML (the `.toml` extension is _required_).
-- A `prettier.config.js` or `.prettierrc.js` file that exports an object.
 - A `"prettier"` key in your `package.json` file.
+- A `.prettierrc` file, written in JSON or YAML, with optional extensions: `.json/.yaml/.yml` (without extension takes precedence).
+- A `.prettierrc.js` or `prettier.config.js` file that exports an object.
+- A `.prettierrc.toml` file, written in TOML (the `.toml` extension is _required_).
 
 The configuration file will be resolved starting from the location of the file being formatted, and searching up the file tree until a config file is (or isn't) found.
