According to Bhagavad Gita, Astrology and Vaasthu Sastra:

The five basic elements., Akash (Universe), Vayu (Air), Tej (Agni), Udak (Water) and Prithvi (Earch).

Hence the order is

1. Akash, vayu,Agni, jal, Bhumi

Mystic five elements of creation are very well described in many Hindu & Buddhist scriptures.
These five elements are responsible for all living or non-living things in the universe, which are
well described as Fire, Earth, Water, Space and Air (Wind) . In Hindi Agni, Prithvi, Jal, Akash,
Vayu all abbreviated as "Apjav"

These five elements are responsible for all creations around us. Even all of us are also the
creation of these five elements. It is well mentioned in Ayurveda that all objects of the universe
are made of five basic elements.When all these or some of these elements are combined together
there will be a creation. All living or non-living things are made by elements in a unique manner
for different creations of the Universe. But for a class or race of any creation it always been in
same proportion. That is why there are many types of living & non- living things around us, but
they all have their specific classes & sub-classes according to these Five Major elements'
proportion in them.
