Newest year first, and within a year the largest fee first — a filing period is a word rather than a date, so it cannot order itself.

A filing reports either the fee paid to a lobbying firm or what a company spent lobbying for itself, never both, so the total is a sum of the two. The client is named as filed, which is often a subsidiary. Lobbying is lawful, disclosed and extremely common — the figure is context, not an accusation.
