I don't really see your list being a scale of appearance. Cute and beautiful and grand and sublime seem to describe different things. A dining experience or a book can be sublime but I would rarely define them as beautiful or pretty.
I also feel that cute and beautiful are not mutually exclusive neither is one inclusive of the other. In other words, something can be cute or beautiful or cute and beautiful or neither. Therefore, they really can't be used on one scale.

Cute is a state of consciousness and Sublime is a state of consciousness, they can be but are not necessarily mutually exclusive, i.e. one can be cute and sublime, or one can be cute but not sublime, depending on one's state of consciousness. The gap is just the distance from here to there and can be crossed in an instant or could take numerous lifetimes. The most direct way to get there is by doing daily spiritual exercises. One such exercise is singing HU.
You are invited to try this simple exercise. It has helped people of may different faiths open their hearts more fully to the sublome presence of God.
To do the exercise, first get comfortable. Close your eyes and take a few deep breaths. Nest, gently put your attention on your inner visual screen, where daydreams and images come to you.
With your eyes closed, sing HU (pronounced like the word hue)
as a song of love. You may notice a feeling of peace, warmth, and comfort. You may also recognize the presence of the Divine through greater spiritual insights into your daily life.

I disagree with your continuum. Cute and sublime are not attributes of the same thing.
Cute is delightful, amusing, tiny, adorable.
Sublime is lofty, supreme, the best possible.
I don't see the two as comparable.

in my experience it is often the"cute" who are sublime and the "beautiful" who are the lowest

The answer will depend on where do you place "agreeable" and "good" in your table?
