Mary had other children, presumably after she had Jesus.
Was Joseph the father of all of these children.
Who were the children. We know of some of them. But were there also two sisters mentioned in the Bible?
And do we know the order of birth?

After Jesus' birth, Joseph and Mary had other children, Jesus' half brothers and sisters. That is evident from the question inhabitants of Nazareth later asked about Jesus: "Is this not the carpenter's son? Is not his mother called Mary, and his brothers James and Joseph and Simon and Judas? And his sisters, are they not all with us?" (Matthew 1:25; 13:55, 56; Mark 6:3) We can conclude from this that Jesus' immediate family consisted of his parents, four brothers, and at least two sisters.
Yes, Joseph was their father, but the birth order is not specified.

I just finished watching a show about this. His sisters names were Mary and Salome.
You can thank Paul, whom fought to start organized religion in Rome, for obliterating Jesus' family from the Bible.
And yes, Joseph was their father.
And we would all do well to remember Paul never knew Jesus or Jesus' family. They were already dead by the time Paul decided to follow or should I say, destroy the church that Jesus wanted to create.

That I can tell there is only one named. That would be James.

Mary only had one son: Jesus
