Check out this article: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SI_Units

1dm3 = 1 decimeter cube = 0.1^3 meters
1uL = 0.000,001 Liters
1mL = 1 milliliter = 0.001 Liter
1L = 1 Liter
1cL = 1 centiliter = 0.01 Liter
1dL = 1 deciliter = 0.1 Liter

d = deci = 1/10th
c = centi = 1/100th
m = mili = 1/1000th, but when it is second m = meter.
L = liters
u= the greek symbol mu = 10^-6 = 0.000,001

So in order from smallest to largest would be:
1uL
1mL
1cL
1dL
1L
1dm3

Cubic meters or cubic decimeters is not a measure of liquid volume but a measure of solid volume, however, it is the largest volume so it would be last on the list.

No cartercarlisa I am not perfect, I merely survived an 8th grade physics class. Please don't answer questions that you don't know the answer to, you are just typing in some gibberish so you can get the free two points and that is unfair to the rest of us who work hard to answer these questions in the best fashion possible.

The questions all relate to the International Standard of Units called the SI system. Scientists use this form of measurement as does most of the world. The US and Great Britain are the only two notable hold backs who cling to the old English system of units. In that system a “foot” used to equal the size of a king’s own foot.
