Ed Page 83d6add9aa fix(help): Shift focus to subcommands, when present 
In surveying various tools and CLI parsers, I noticed they list the
subcommands first.  This puts an emphasis on them which makes sense
because that is most likely what an end user is supposed to pass in
next.

Listing them last aligns with the usage order but it probably doesn't
outweigh the value of getting a user moving forward.
