Graded order (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

hierarchy

(Other definitions for hierarchy that I've seen before include "System arranged in successive grades" , "System with grades of authority ranking one above another" , "priestly government" , "Leaders in church" , "Top people in an organisation" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
