Io, Europa, Ganymede, Callisto
(Io is the closest, Callisto is the farthest.)
And to answer menace's question:
Knowing that helps us to understand why Io has such a warm interior, and is the most volcanically active object in the solar system (tidal forces from Jupiter and the other moons alternately stretch and squeeze the moon, heating it up). The tidal forces on Europa aren't enough to cause all that volcanism, but might be enough for there to be liquid water under the surface ice. And if there is liquid water, there might be life! Cool, eh?

There's a cute saying for the initial letters in order: Io, Europa, Ganymede, Callisto = I Eat Green Cheese
