    Answer

    Here is the order of the devas in Chapter 4 of the Tattvartha Sutra, under the four main subtitles: Bhavanavāsī, Vyantara, Jyotiṣka, and Vaimānika. ( jainworld.com)

    1. Sūrya
    2. Candra
    3. Graha
    4. Nakṣatra
    5. Prakirṇaka Tārakā, meaning scattered stars ( jainworld.com)

    Vaimānika

    Vaimānika devas are of two broad kinds: Kalpopapanna and Kalpatīta. The main order is:

    1) The 16 Kalpas

    1. Saudharma
    2. Īśāna
    3. Sanatkumāra
    4. Māhendra
    5. Brahma
    6. Brahmottara

    1. Vijaya
    2. Vaijayanta
    3. Jayanta
    4. Aparājita
    5. Sarvārthasiddhi ( jainworld.com)

    Explanation

    In Jain cosmology, devas are not one single group. Chapter 4 divides them into four major orders, and then further into subgroups within each order. This is why the chapter reads in a very structured sequence. ( jainworld.com)

    Spiritual Understanding

    This classification reminds us that even heavenly birth is still within saṃsāra. In Jain Dharma, the true goal is not simply to be born as a deva, but to move toward right faith, right knowledge, right conduct, and liberation. ( jainworld.com)

    Takeaway

    If you want, I can also turn this into a neat chart/table or give you the Sanskrit sutras verse by verse in the same order.
