this is a simple question, Antioch is a petarian see but it is not listed as first or second among the anchient patriachates- it is listed as 4th? Why is this the case if the early Church carred about petarian sucession then why would it not be second?
Why dose it look like the early church listed Patriarchates in order of the cities- size/wealth?

Peace be with you mate,
You've a scarce hope of anyone who's not Orthodox even having a clue of what you're on about.
Petrine eans related to St. Peter. (This is obviously the intended word so let us not fuss when we all make spelling errors.)
{I've heard that once (fairly recently, say, the last 50 years sometime) when the Syrian Orthodox Patriarch of Antioch met with the Pope of Rome, the former greeted saying, "The Patriarch of the See of St. Peter greets the Patriarch of the See of St. Paul" and the latter nodded.}

Now to your question:
As you well know, in the ancient Church all bishops were considered equal as all kings are equal. But being equal in rank and authority doesn't mean that they are equal in terms of power and influence. The order of the Patriarchates was originally determined by the level of power and influence of the respective bishops and then with regard to honourary rights.
I could go on but this should satisfy this question.
Thank you and pray for me please.

Petarian relates to Pakastan, could you possibly mean Petrine?
