To order the numbers from smallest to largest, we can first convert the numbers in scientific notation to their decimal form:

  1. \( 9.3 \times 10^{-7} = 0.00000093 \)
  2. \( 5.7 \times 10^{13} = 57000000000000 \)
  3. \( 3.2 \times 10^{4} = 32000 \)
  4. \( 1.9 \times 10^{7} = 19000000 \)
  5. \( -7.6 \times 10^{-9} = -0.0000000076 \)
  6. \( 4.5 \times 10^{4} = 45000 \)

Next, we can order these numbers:

  1. \( -7.6 \times 10^{-9} = -0.0000000076 \) (smallest)
  2. \( 9.3 \times 10^{-7} = 0.00000093 \)
  3. \( 3.2 \times 10^{4} = 32000 \)
  4. \( 4.5 \times 10^{4} = 45000 \)
  5. \( 1.9 \times 10^{7} = 19000000 \)
  6. \( 5.7 \times 10^{13} = 57000000000000 \) (largest)

So, the ordered list from smallest to largest is:

\( -7.6 \times 10^{-9}, 9.3 \times 10^{-7}, 3.2 \times 10^{4}, 4.5 \times 10^{4}, 1.9 \times 10^{7}, 5.7 \times 10^{13} \)
