Furthermore, you can now specify the sort order using `-S`.

This respects underscore prefix (e.g. `_MyBasePluginIE` is private) and `__all__`. Modules can similarly be excluded by prefixing the module name with an underscore (e.g. `_myplugin.py`).
To replace an existing extractor with a subclass of one, set the `plugin_name` class keyword argument (e.g. `MyPluginIE(ABuiltInIE, plugin_name='myplugin')` will replace `ABuiltInIE` with `MyPluginIE`). To replace an existing extractor with a subclass of one, set the `plugin_name` class keyword argument (e.g. `MyPluginIE(ABuiltInIE, plugin_name='myplugin')` will replace `ABuiltInIE` with `MyPluginIE`). Since the extractor replaces the parent, you should exclude the subclass extractor from being imported separately by making it private using one of the methods described above.
