Different from filling a gap in a sequence: here the numbers arrive jumbled and putting them in order is the whole task, which is what a child needs before comparing or rounding makes sense.

Difficulty is a real change to the numbers or the layout, not a label.
Three numbers, well spread apart, smallest first.
Four numbers, closer together.
Five numbers, some sharing a first digit, and the direction alternates.

Putting five numbers in order requires the child to compare pairs repeatedly and hold the partial result in mind. It is harder than a single greater-than question in a way that is easy to underestimate, and it is a good check that a comparison skill is genuinely solid rather than passable.
If a child can compare two numbers but cannot order five, the missing piece is usually a strategy: find the smallest, write it, cross it out, repeat.
The classic error is ordering by the leading digit and ignoring length — putting 9 after 87 because nine looks bigger. It shows up the moment the sets mix two- and three-digit numbers, which the harder settings do deliberately.
The repair is place value, not more ordering practice.
Missing numbers gives a sequence already in order with one value removed. Here nothing is in order to begin with.
Ordering 4, 9 and 15 is about size. Ordering 41, 43 and 47 is about comparing digits, which is a later skill.
