The correct order of soil particles from smallest to largest is as follows:

1. **Clay** - the smallest soil particles, less than 0.002 mm in diameter.
2. **Silt** - medium-sized particles, ranging from 0.002 mm to 0.02 mm in diameter.
3. **Sand** - larger particles, ranging from 0.02 mm to 2 mm in diameter.
4. **Gravel** - the largest particles, generally greater than 2 mm in diameter.

So, the order from smallest to largest is: Clay, Silt, Sand, Gravel.
