According to the Hindu astrology, the Sun is the king and
the Moon is the queen. They are supposed to sit on the
top of the planetary court. Mars is the commander of
army, so he sits next. Mercury is prince, so he sits next.
Jupiter and Venus are religious priests, so the sit next.
Saturn is the servant, so he sits next.
The energy influence hierarchy can also be interpreted
in terms of the influence of the planets on earth. Hindu
astrology says that the Sun is the ruler or controller of
the planets. The energy from the Sun influences earth
the most. Next comes the moon. The influence of moon
on sea tides is known to science. Then the influence of
other planets, which is not well studied by modern
science is taken in this order - they follow the same
order as they are located in the solar system, but they
are selected according to polarities. The inner planets
are called female planets and the outer planets are
called the male planets. The sequence is placed
alternatively - one male and one female. The first male
planet is Mars, then the first female planet Mercury,
then the next male planet Jupiter, then the next female
planet Venus, and then the next male planet Saturn.
The Hundu astrology says that the astro-body which
influence the earth most influences the mind of humans
least. Accordingly, the Saturn's influence on human mind
is said to be most effective.
Now comes a very important question. Why only the seven
planets are considered for naming the weeks. Did they
not know about the existence of other planets. Science
knows that the 'corona' of the sun extends only upto
planet Saturn and not beyond. The psychic principle of
influence is dependent on this aspect.
There are other implications which are rarely discussed
in other ancient texts.
The Kundalini Yoga of the Hindus speaks about the seven
centres along the spine.

The first day of the week according to the Hindus is
Sunday. On Sunday, the centre on the top of the head
gets energized. On Monday, the pineal gland inside the
brain gets energized. On Tuesday, the throat centre
gets energized. On Wednesday the lungs centre gets
energized. On Thursday, the naval centre gets
energized. On Friday, the private part centre gets
energized. On Saturday, the anus centre gets energized.
This has been the observation of the great Rishi who
wrote Yoga Upanishads. You can also observe the same if
you go to country side and spend a few weeks. The
rising of the threshold level in cities is not normally
conducive to such observation. Many philosopher of yore
observed the same and named week days according to the
major influence of the planet on that day.
The planets are given the order accordingly. It is also
the descending order of energy influence on the
components of mind. Visit my blog for more details
about components of mind and the influence of
planets on those components.

You have to specify what language you are naming the days in to get an answer. The first answer seems enormously complicated, especially since hours of the day and the start of the day (sunset, sunrise, midnight) are variable in history - noon comes from nones - a time for certain prayers - which comes from 9 hours after sunrise, when the day, no matter how much sun, was divided up into equal parts.
English day names were taken from Viking names so Wednesday is Woden, Thursday is Thor, and equating one set of gods with another (Woden=Jupiter) gets tricky. And Saturday is Sabado in Spanish which is Sabbath, just as Saturday is the Sabbath for the Jewish faith and Seventh Day Adventists - that is why Sunday starts the week on the calendar. Christians go to church on Sunday because that is when Christ rose if he died on Friday.

also contains the code thing in the first answer and a long table of the day names in many languages.

You don’t need to exercise for long periods of time. Short, sharp sets of exercise will produce better results in the event you work hard. Get a passing up rope, skip for two minutes, do push ups for about a minute, skip for two minutes, rest first minute. Then change the push around something else like sit ups along with do the set again. Repeat it five times and it’s a simple, effective workout that will get better results than a long manage or swim.

The logical order In English comes from the idea that each day they worshipped a different God. As each day was dedicated to something different, they ended up naming the days after what they worshipped on that day:
On monday they worshipped the moon.
On Tuesday, God Thor. Etc.

Well since some people say that Tuesday was named after the norse god Twi, the god of justice; and Wednsday was named after Woden, their king of gods; and Thursday was Thors day, and Friday is Friggs day, a god on equil standing with Woden, I am not sure there is a definate answer to your question.
