This one varies depending on how posh the restaurant is, and to some extent the country you're in. In very high society, you begin with hors d'ouvres, go on to the entree, and finish with dessert or pudding. (In really high society, there may be more than three courses, of course).
Move slightly down-market and you get starters, mains, and dessert or pudding ('sweet' is supposed to give you away as definitely lower-class).
However in some countries - typically Australia and New Zealand - they have taken to calling the first course the entree and the second course the mains. This actually derives from a misunderstanding of the original meaning of the term entree, and if you go back far enough into the history of fine dining you'll discover that there used to be two types of service - one was called 'service a la Russe' and I've forgotten the name of the other - and the upper classes used to have a variety of different dishes brought to them at each stage of the meal - so the hors d'ouvres were pretty much ready when they sat down, and then at some point a bevy of servants would bring in the dishes for the main course - hence 'entree' because they were 'entered.'
That's more than you wanted to know, probably.
