If you want to get a sorted list of all services that are started when
FreeBSD boots,
enter "service -e".

Nope. That doesn't look sorted. Unless the sorted means "order in which
they start" perhaps. So maybe take out the word "sorted". Either that or
insert the "started order" as the manpage claims :

Sorry for being all OCD here. Perhaps it should say sorted in the order
in which they were started. Something like that.
