Best Answer

It is an order which may be implied by definitions or by the number themselves. For example, BIDMAS (or PEMDAS for the US) is a definitional hierarchy. The coordinates of a point is a definitional one: the X coordinate (abscissa) comes first, then the Y coordinate (ordinate). If the space is of three or more dimensions, the Z-coordinate follows and then w, and so on.

Numerical hierarchy is simply putting the numbers in order of size.
