The correct order of the stages of matter from the greatest average kinetic energy to the least average kinetic energy per particle is **gas, liquid, solid**.
In this order:
- **Gas** has the highest average kinetic energy, as the particles are far apart and move freely.
- **Liquid** has intermediate average kinetic energy, with particles being closer together and moving more than in solids but less than in gases.
- **Solid** has the lowest average kinetic energy, with particles closely packed and vibrating in fixed positions.
So, the answer is: **gas, liquid, solid**.
