 Order of Precedence in England and Wales
Precedence existed in pre-Conquest times: an Anglo-Saxon document states that "in the laws of the English, people and law went by ranks." The Conquest presumably resulted in the introduction of precedence as it was practiced at the court of Normandy, just as titles and offices were imported by the victors.
House of Lords Precedence Act 1539 and the Ordinance of 1595, both of which were to a large extent codifying current practice, form the canvass of the order of precedence.
For the modern orders, precedence is defined in the statutes of the order.

 Order of precedence - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
An order of precedence is a sequential hierarchy of nominal importance of people; it is used by many organizations and governments.
One's position in an order of precedence is not necessarily an indication of functional importance, but rather an indication of ceremonial or historical relevance; for instance, it may dictate where dignitaries are seated at formal dinners.

 CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: The Carmelite Order
In fact the Carmelite Order as such was only approved by the Second Council of Lyons (1274), but St. Simon obtained from Innocent IV an interim approbation, as well as certain modifications of the rule (1247).
Thus the order ceased to be eremitical and became one of the mendicant orders.
Not all convents were under the government of the order, many having been from the first subject to the jurisdiction of the local bishop; since the French Revolution this arrangement has become the prevailing one.

 JAG - The Peerage
The oldest and the most important is that for the order of men whose joint counsel the king valued and who were equal to the highest ranking feudal lords in the realm.
Scotland may be said to have a peerage of similar antiquity, for that body known as the "Seven Earls" was as powerful as the continental peerages, pre-dated all but that of Charlemagne, and its descendants retained great influence until comparatively modern times.
These, in order of precedence, are Dukes, Marquesses, Earls, Viscounts and Barons - but in Scotland the last rank is not Baron but Lord of Parliament (abbreviated to "Lord") because Baron in Scotland is still a feudal title, not a peerage title.
