Clay particles are the smallest, less than or equal to 2 microns ( 2 thousandth of a millimetre)
Silt particles are next, between 2 microns and 0.06 mm
Sand particles are next. Sand goes from 0.06mm to 2mm on the MIT classification, but from 0.06mm to 4.6mm on some other classifications
Gravel is the biggest of the list you gave - size up to 60mm in some classifications. Bigger than that is cobbles, then boulders
